Instant name recognition that opens doors with others, very competitive pay, stable long term job, get to work with some very intelligent people who are some of the top in their fields.

Cons

Very bureaucratic and averse to change, hierarchical, and management likes to keep things very close to their chests. Limited ability to drive one's own career.

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.
