Google vs Facebook vs Microsoft internships
I'm currently a Google intern (PhD, research org) and have one more summer for an internship.
Would it be better to try out a different company (thinking of FB or Microsoft) for better salary negotiation later on, or do another internship at Google? (more chances to get in as FTE?)
I've heard that FB and Microsoft have very good internship programs (+research org) and would also just like the experience at a different company.
But then on the other hand, I hear that it's hard to get Google FTE offers so maybe it would be better to increase my chances with another internship.
Not sure how different it would be...
Also, I'm currently not eligible for conversion.
Does anyone know if you can take conversion interviews for the current internship next year? (When I might be eligiblle)

Fair warning though, WLB sucks at FB.
If I were you, I'd stay at google and try to get a conversion offer. Google research is still king.
Honestly the research culture is the same whether you're at Microsoft, Google, or Facebook. It's not as variable as SWE. Research teams routinely interact with other companies' research teams, so the culture converges.
