Pros

Good benefits Attend industry sponsored events Decent pay

Cons

Working ridiculous hours like they’re IB but it’s not. If you’re not white you will be ostracized and looked down on. They will not train you and complain when it takes you 2X as long to complete a task. If your dual citizenship they will not allow you travel for family funerals because bereavement leave is only 3 days. The building is old and they don’t turn on hallway lights. Their management style sucks be ready to be berated within an inch of you life - “we don’t pay you this much to give us rubbish work like this”, “there’s no point meeting because I don’t care about your code”, “why do you think it’s okay for only you not to work weekends”, “do you think your special”, “nobody cares, it’s not personal it’s business”. Anyway if you’re not white or a highly assimilated immigrant do not work here. You will regret it!

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.
