That was a negative experience, but there are many successful
projects. Summer of Code has proven beneficial to organizations, just
look through the previous years' organization lists and see orgs
coming back year after year.
I was a mentor last year and a student before that. I have seen a
project fail but most were successful. As the mentor you have an
input into this process in the form of a mid-term review and a final
review. If a student is not meeting their part of the deal, you can
fail them (in the worst case).
The GSoC wiki has more information that can help you decide whether to apply:
