Pros

Good pay, excellent benefits (except PTO) including for dependents Excellent maternity / paternity policies Flexible work & remote occasionally, especially after Covid Many career paths, lots of opportunities worldwide, plenty of movement between roles (every 1-2 years typical for an early career employee) I've been told experienced hire pay is competitive.

Cons

Early career employees only get 2 weeks of vacation, which isn't competitive with industry. Forced ranking system probably gets 80% of assessments correct. If you're in the 20%, prepare to be paid less and have your career opportunities limited. Senior management tends to identify talent early, influenced by undergraduate school choice (typical for Texas-based schools to do well). If you're not in this pool, even if you do well, your potential will be capped. Experienced hires tend to be capped in their potential as well.

Pros

Good opportunities for networking and travel.

Cons

A significant HR issue between interns occurred during my internship and was handled very poorly. Once the matter came to HR’s and leadership’s attention, it was not officially resolved until months after the internship had ended. The VP privately apologized for the situation, but the overall response was inadequate and felt as though the situation was being swept under the rug. The lack of timely communication and follow-up created a very uncomfortable environment for a young intern and significantly impacted what was otherwise a positive internship experience.
