It is a great place for internship

Pros

It is fair to say that the interns are high class citizens. Regular employees are jealous about the intern activities. San Diego is a nice city. Decent and spacious parking lots. HR cares interns. It's true.

Cons

Cafeteria food is not of a great quality, sadly. The unlimited supply of soda will hurt the health of employees.
