Pros

Excellent benefits and compensation, opportunity to develop new skills and experience various parts of the organization, including global assignments. Employees are well-trained, highly capable and often better-positioned for similar assignments when compared with employees from other companies.

Cons

Most employees are overworked, given constant management focus on efficiency and expense reduction. Work-life balance is thus very difficult given resulting high workload and demands. 40-hour work weeks are rare; 60-hour weeks are the norm. Significant focus on process and internal controls, though important to a point, draw attention away from running the business at times and reduce the ability to adapt to an ever-changing business environment.

Pros

Good opportunities for networking and travel.

Cons

A significant HR issue between interns occurred during my internship and was handled very poorly. Once the matter came to HR’s and leadership’s attention, it was not officially resolved until months after the internship had ended. The VP privately apologized for the situation, but the overall response was inadequate and felt as though the situation was being swept under the rug. The lack of timely communication and follow-up created a very uncomfortable environment for a young intern and significantly impacted what was otherwise a positive internship experience.
