Challenging and Fun
Working at Facebook has been an amazing experience. The product is seen by an extremely large, enthusiastic userbase. Engineering teams within the company are really small, so each person has the opportunity to make a big impact and own some really amazing systems. The culture within the... Read more

Smart people, challenging problems
After having worked several years in a large internet company, its refreshing to be in an environment as open as Facebook. It is hard to find such a unique combination of excitement of a startup with the stability of a large company with an established user base of over 100 million.

Yahoo's not living on the edge
The turnover rate has been high; they've lost lots of people during recent years. However, they also bring in lots of people at the same time. A lot of my co-workers around have started in less than a year, and I personally know couple guys who're planning to leave within a year or so.... Read more

EA needs to listen to their soldiers at the front-line
The EA office at Florida has inherited its casual style from the headquarters. People wear casual attire to work; employees can occasionally bring their kids into work. The location of the Orlando office is great. The discount we got for the games is awesome.

Great Place to work
Although hours a bit long and it takes much time for me to commute from home to office, other things that Google offers all make me love this place - salary, bonus, not to mention the excellent benefits. It is also both satisfying and challenging to work with very smart colleagues. Unlike others... Read more

It's been a fun ride
I've been at Yahoo for almost 2 years, and have generally enjoyed my time there. The hours I worked were reasonable, and my coworkers were friendly. You may have read bad news about Yahoo in the gossip rags lately, but the problems are only in upper management.

Apple's internship program is a great way to learn about the company
Apple makes the best products in the world. To do this, they need people who care deeply about the company and products involved in the process. I'd recommend working at Apple to anyone who cares about the user experience, Macintosh, iPod, or just wants to be part of a community of products... Read more

Lack of infrastructure, but one can learn a lot in this kind of environment
First and foremost, Yahoo is a decent company to work in my personal experience. Google fetish aside and ignore what's running on the news recently, Yahoo has always been profitable, even during the dot-bomb period. Comparing to Google, Yahoo is pretty slow at technical innovations; take a... Read more
