Pros

Some nice people and reasonably relaxed atmosphere, lots of other like-minded interns to mix with during the internship

Cons

There was no pay and you are expected to work long hours. I was asked to come back to intern again but again was offered no pay. This happened regularly to other interns - seems they're just exploiting students on the basis of a good brand on your CV.

Pros

Top brands that look amazing on your résumé. Pay is decent. Little oversight: your weird idea can make it to production within a day. Designers and editors care deeply about their work and how it's presented.

Cons

This company is large enough to take more responsibility in what they're putting out there. Certain brands operate in their own technological fiefdoms, where things like build tools, tests, code quality, and many other important parts of modern web development, are left solely to the discretion of the ranking member of the team. The political corporate reality of this lack of oversight results in situations where you, as someone who strives for a more sound codebase, can feel ostracized for rocking the boat—rather than empowered to contribute something meaningful to the product at large. Discussions are shut down and shade is publicly thrown, rather than a conversation on the merits on either approach.
