What I liked

A very interesting company with a unique product. Great culture in San Jose, great people working there for the most part. A unique experience to say the least. Experiencing another part of the country is very much worth it.

What I wish was different

Pay was VERY low for the area. I took the job for experience but for half of the internship it felt like they didn't know what to do with me, and when they did they asked me to work weekends and stressed me out without giving me room to breathe and "learn" as an intern should. It felt like they did nothing but put me on busywork. Management is not your friend here as well and did not take well to informing them of my stress and monetary issues. I was lectured about not being grateful for the opportunity, essentially, and it put a very sour taste in my mouth.

Advice

Only accept an offer like this if they are willing to pay you for at least $25/hr (effectively) and when you get there, be sure to constantly bug people about what you can be working on. People can be quite busy and sometimes need a push to get you something to do.
