    Resume Filler

    Pros

    This internship is very much only useful as a resume filler for high school students or college freshman looking for an unpaid internship.

    Cons

    Internship is set up to seem like it is very prestigious but the tasks themselves are all grunt work. Half the interns are working on efforts to gain more unpaid interns for the company while the other half is mass emailing CEOs in order for them to pay for guidance and management.

    Terrible! Stay away

    Pros

    Worked here a few years back, since if the interns were cool...... Otherwise genuinely the most exploitive experience of my life. Stay away

    Cons

    This place use to try to hire foreign students to do nothing but grunt work child calling and sending emails. You will not get any finance experience! They have not completed an acquisition since 2007. They will lie to you since they are trying to get free labor- I gave up a paid internship through my university to do this...... 4 months of my life I'm never getting back

    Pros

    provide education about deal funnel and the process for the most part overall for interns (and to just get overall experience if this is your field)

    Cons

    management is atrocious in terms of communicating effectively to its staff/interns. Respect is completely void.
