Pros

Good Benefits (health and dental), Safe Employment as they can lost 10s of millions of dollars but they dont need to lay people off, Dont need to work all that hard to do your job. Excellent opportunities for WOrk Life Balance. Easy to look good as there are so many incompetent people.

Cons

Management changes often and thus direction gets changed often. There are a lot of incompetent people that can hide in this organization rather than be dealt with like in other organizations - this can be really demotivating for the good performers. They love to hire outside consultants who come in and check on their managers ability to make decisions

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.
