Pros
If you are into the next frontier, then this is definitely the place to be. You get to be a part of our most coveted source of scientific advancement, and people respect you for it. I can't imagine a place where I would get more oohs and ahhs about where I work, but perhaps thats just my crowd of friends. More importantly, you get to work on really cool technology, often times pushing the boundaries of whats currently possible.
Cons
The downsides include comparatively low pay, given what normal Silicon Valley companies pay for an intern. Additionally, there's a very distinct culture there, and if you fit in, you fit in, and if you don't you don't.
