Pros

It is a large financial institution.

Cons

Messages from management change monthly. Management pretends to listen but ignores employees. Employees are ruled by fear and consider themselves expendable as people disappear regularly. Clients question the bank's direction and stability. No customer loyalty as Finacial Advisors change every year. Some clients have had 7 advisors over 7 years in a role that claims to be built on relationships.

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.
