Pros

You'll gain some experience and make some new connections. There are some very talented people still employed here.

Cons

Well, every few years when they have a slow quarter or 2 they will blindside everyone and lay off about 10 people in 1 day so that's no good. Then the following few weeks a lot of truly the talented people will jump ship for better opportunities and job security. They made Karen CEO for some reason and her first act as CEO was to switch everyone in the office's seats around. It made no sense and completely wrecked productivity. You were no longer sitting with your team and people you rely on to get work done. She must have read an article about how that would increase creativity or something but it just alienated the whole company and made everything more difficult.

Pros

Everyone here has a laser focus on the needs of the clients and is willing to put in the work to make sure expectations are exceeded. You get to meet and interact with people who are at the top of their game and they're always willing to speak with you and teach you things. From an intern perspective I was treated like a regular full-time employee which was refreshing; we didn't have to do demeaning tasks like get coffee/lunch or make copies, we were given work that our team members and clients valued. We had the opportunity to sit down with the president for a lunch and then the CEO for a dinner, that was extremely valuable; they really value the opinions of their interns. We also had meetings with the head of each department so we could get an understanding of how all the departments interact and work together. Finally at the end of the semester, the interns gave a presentation to the entire company, that was really cool and I liked how the company itself valued us as interns and treated us like a full-time member of the team.

Cons

Very fluid. I got the job and by the end of the semester I had seen about a dozen or so team members come and go. It may not be a con for some, but for me it made me uneasy. I think there is lack of opportunities to move up the ranks. It was the general consensus from all the interns that it can get very overwhelming at some times and the learning curve is steep, but everyone is very willing to help.
