Pros

The pay is decent, alongside the benefits. You get to meet many different people

Cons

If you're a person of color be careful stepping in here. There's a ton of gaslighting, micromanagement, and people do not respect work life balance here. Nevertheless, you're expected to bend backwards for a company that does not value you at all. Microaggressions, passive aggressiveness, and people on their high horse about their "careers" is very much a pattern at this place. Be prepared for conversations behind your back. Mentally tiring and dehumanizing to be there.

Pros

lots to learn, overall a very welcoming environment. even though most teams are busy, they didn't mind having an intern under their wing and letting you be a fly on the wall. they want you to ask questions.

Cons

overwhelming, take adavantage of the opportunity, challenging, very buttoned up if you're looking for long term career.
