[quote=metaghost4]@Yumtoast: lol Oracle, they visited our school and invited all of the technical students to a presentation about becoming a Marketing Intern, no one that I know of has taken them seriously since then, but if they do give you an internship that's fit for you, go ahead. I'm glad Intel was far away from home, that would the last place I would want to be in for the summer. My internship was a lot easier than the schoolwork I had to go though. Granted, my project was indefinitely delayed because the 3rd-party company never replied to my team so the 1st half of the time I did almost nothing waiting for them and the 2nd half I only debugged the application we were working on. However I did enjoy my team (even though only my manager is an Intel employee, everyone else were contractors). They have plenty of neat intern events to go to. They even have an on-site gym, that helped to me to become the strongest I've ever been in my life (at the time, 3 months later and all of that muscle gone ). I did have fun with a group of interns until the end, especially when things went haywire between me and a girl (just don't get attracted to your coworkers and you'll be fine).

By the way, [url=http://vladspears.com/media/image/compiling600w.png]This is too true.[/url][/quote]
Great advice, but the fact that Oracle is so close to my parents' house makes it a really appealing summer internship.

Though I'll also be applying to Intel, M$, eBay, Lockheed Martin, etc -- whoever will take me first I suppose. It'd be cool to intern with Blizzard, but I hate Java.

How was that? I'm tempted to apply for summer, but Oracle is a lot close to home.

[quote=metaghost4]@Jacobienight: The company for my internship also gave us a free Starbucks coffee, tea, and soda fountain. It's really nothing special, all it's saving you is buying a mug at a place that offer unlimited refills.
A company game lounge doesn't say much considering for all we know it's an empty room with wi-fi.
A monthly allowance on Nexon cash is funny yet not surprising. After all, it would embarrassing for a company if the employees didn't use their products and services.
The rest seem ok, although you have to look at other factors like annual income and work environment before deciding if Nexon is a decent employer. Personally I'm not interested in working in the Game Industry considering the stigma that comes with it.[/quote]
Off-topic, but aren't you an intern for Intel?

Not that surprising or special, most high-end gaming companies have similar benefits.

Don't have a WiiU. That's a deal breaker

Yeah they make sense, like the benefits actually aren't bad. I suppose yeah pay is one thing, but it is interesting to myself at least seeing what they do offer.

Ok calm down.

So there's a chance that one of those henehoes is actually a GM?
