Pros

you do get paid. there are some good people who work there.

Cons

too long to list. company just doesn't care about people. under trained, under educated but highly motivated people make their way up in this company, and numbers and 'business results' are the only drivers. the result is poor management at best, bullying and demeaning at worst. most people inside are unhappy and looking for a way out. turn over in my region was shockingly high. terrible employer.

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.
