Pros

Great environment and great people. Lots of opportunities to learn and improve software skills as well as contribute to projects. Flexible schedule for part-timers.

Cons

Can't really think of any real downsides. Communication could be better by having senior devs in Blacksburg, but devs are quick and responsive even through online.

Pros

Working on real projects and applications, close communication with PM and senior devs

Cons

It was a pretty small company, felt like you knew everyone. Guess that could also be a pro

Pros

Fantastic company culture. Everyone is kind, willing to help, and dedicated. Stocked kitchen with great snacks. You'll never be caught doing menial tasks. As an intern, you're doing work comparable, though not quite as advanced, to the senior developers before the first month is up. Management does their best to make sure the interns are taken care of and learning a lot. They clearly care about what they do and the work all the employees put in.

Cons

The work is quality, but it probably isn't on the level of bigger/more complex companies. Much of the software does not require more than intermediate programming knowledge. This may be not be good to students who are looking for more aggressive or in-depth work.
