Pros

Opportunities to work on cross-functional teams, flexible work environment, ability to learn new functions, lots of good training.

Cons

It's often about who you know that determines your upward mobility. Projects are often started, then put on a shelf and not picked back up again. Very hierarchical.

Pros

I was able to take on multiple responsibilities, like research and volunteer engagement, with consideration of my time and workload from school.

Cons

At times, I felt like my work wasn’t as important or could’ve been done by my supervisors, especially when projects were close to completion, they would be altered but I understand it was for time efficiency.
