I'm curious about these numbers. Do Facebook interns receive insurance? Do they get any other benefits, like stock or bonuses? Undergraduates have echoed numbers like this to me, which is great, but we should be careful to compare internships with other internships, not against full-time employees. They don't seem to be apples to apples comparisons.

They do not get full-time benefits such as insurance or stock. Simply payment and usually temporary subsidized housing.
Their title is still intern, so I assume they know they don't get benefits, and their goal is still to become full time employees at the company or elsewhere.
