Interesting research

Researcher intern

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The labs teams are exciting and interesting ways to grow and do something meaningful. The research labs promote creative thinking and individual growth. They encourage coming up with your own projects and working on what you enjoy doing.

Cons

The compensation is less than some other large companies I've worked for -- at least as an intern. It'd be nice if there were more social events and activities, too.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is filled with talented technical people, especially in the area of security. The talent level in the Labs is truly exceptional. Everybody has something to add. As an added bonus, it's an international company, so you get to work with people in different countries.

Cons

The energy level in the San Diego office is low. The workforce is generally older so even though the aggregate level of experience is great, there's less camaraderie between team members.
