If having an active social life is why she missed out, then she is better off having missed out.

If your post about why you didn't get called back and most of it is filled with social activities, local food , travel plans and the amazing people she lived with, perhaps an active social life is what she thought the job was.
Would you hire her?

You're not really allowed to post about what you worked on during the internship.
Also, you're surrounded by a bunch of other interns your age, and the whole program is structured around socializing with them. Years ago, when I interned there, pretty much every weekend there was a different company-sanctioned intern event (hike Mt. Rainier, dinner, movie, go to Woodland Park zoo, concert, etc.).

Is that what it is like working there?

She really does gloss over the actual engineering she had to do there, but we can't really say from that article.
Women tend to put much more emphasis on these social parts, and its likely even more pronounced considering that this part is probably the only thing that she feels good about.. even now after the final experience.
The reasons don't seem to be clearly stated, but I could see the very active social life described in the article affecting the quantity (not quality) relative to other interns. The paraphrasing of her manager seems to lead in that direction.
