    Great for an internship, maybe not so great after graduation.

    Oct 14, 2019 - College Aide in New York, NY
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Working at MTA headquarters was pretty great; learned about lots of new and interesting technologies and as a software developer, they gave me a lot of room to grow. It depends on the manager, but I was given a lot of freedom to design my own projects. They really treated me as a full member of the team, rather than "just an intern."

    Cons

    The pay was alright for an intern, but after I graduate, the full-time salary is not competitive at all. 40k for an Analyst Trainee, which is essentially a Data Science/ Data Engineer role...

    Pros

    Relaxed work environment, nice people, learned new skills and procedures, could do homework on off time, making hourly wage so extra money for college.

    Cons

    MTA processes take a WHILE. Also, you'd expect that they would be eager to hire a great performing, 2-year+ intern after graduation, but there isn't much loyalty in this place
