Pros
Some of the coolest/passionate people I've ever met! Amazing proximity to history's greatest works of art.
Cons
Really large company, so things move kind of slowly. There is really no work/life balance, so expect to work 80 hour weeks before your department's sale (if you work for a specialist department)

StarStarStarStarStarRecommendsI worked at Christie's
Pros
The people are knowledgable and extremely capable. You get to observe how things work and see amazing art works.
Cons
If the department you're interning does not have any upcoming auctions, it can get very slow. You might find yourself sitting at your desk and waiting days for work to come.
