Pros

A very comprehensive internship program. There was a week-long training session for the development interns at the start which was very useful as an introduction to the platform. In addition there were regularly organised events for the interns. The team in which I worked was very helpful and friendly.

Cons

No showers, so cycling in the morning was somewhat less of an option.
