Pros

The company provides excellent mentorship and opportunities to work on real production-level projects. I got exposure to full-stack development using modern technologies like React.js, Node.js, and AWS. The work culture is supportive, and seniors are always open to guide. I learned about Docker, CI/CD, and deployment best practices during my internship.

Cons

Sometimes deadlines can be tight, and there’s a lot to learn in a short time. Stipend could be better considering the workload, but overall the experience is worth it for skill development.
