I never really applied to the larger companies. It seemed like most of the really cool opportunities there were full-time positions only. My friends that had done internships at bigger companies hadn't enjoyed it very much, so I was looking for something small.
When I met Rich and Bill, WePay jumped out at me because it was the most startup-y of all the startups there that day. Every other company had a product and was trying to build it up. WePay was just an idea at the time, and it was obvious that I'd be deeply involved in the building and shaping of the product, rather than adding on to something that already existed.
Asking me to describe the experience is such a broad question that it's hard not to answer in a similarly broad manner. If you've got specific aspects that you're curious about, let me know. As for generally, I absolutely loved it (which is why I'm back here now). I certainly learned way more during three months than I had in two years of school.
