How meaningful is Google Summer of Code (GSOC) for a head-start of my career?

Hey folks!
Iβm a CS Junior undergrad at a top tier Indian University. I recently got accepted into GSOC program under a Google Project.
Both of my mentors are Senior Software Developers from Google, HQ.
I wonder how can I make the most of it and maybe get a chance to get an interview for an FTE role.
Please let me know your perspective and suggestions are appreciated.
Stipend: $1500

You'll get a Google referral once you successfully complete the program. If your mentors are from Google, that's even better. If you do good work and bond well, they'd also be able to refer you.
If you don't have other good internship options, go for it.
I was part of it.
I recommend trying to score an internship at FAANG, than participating in Gsoc
