Pros

Working in the Fremont factory is an exciting experience unlike any other. The amount of change that occurs here on a daily basis is astounding. If you are looking for full-blown heads down race to the finish this is the place. The goals are lofty but yet I can't think of another company more equipped to meet them. The fellow engineers are extremely nice and cooperative.

Cons

The down side is that it is very easy to get caught up in work and not give yourself down time. No stock options as an intern.
