Pros

Good manager at the branch that I am working at. The manager is very willing to teach me although I know that this is not the case in all the branch.

Cons

Upper management is stupid, they always implement changes that does not make sense. In order to compete with other FIs, they create the stupidest policies. Example: only home branch account opening will count as sales... serving IBB clients does not help you meet target. Is that stupid and yet they want us to provide excellent customer service.. hahaha good luck IBB clients, I need to ensure that I serve home branch clients only :)

Pros

-People were friendly and would do coffee chats/one-on-one lunches. -Other interns were great. -Base compensation as an analyst is on the higher end.

Cons

-Feedback from intern manager only given at the end of a rotation differed greatly from what team members would directly tell me which was confusing. Makes me think people are only nice on the surface. -Team members prioritized some interns over others in terms of work given and time spent. -Teams in the same product group had wildly different work life balance with some working 70+ hours a week and others working close to 40. -Has high turnover overall due to lower compensation at the Director+ level.
