Pros

- Salary is OK - Cannot honestly think on another pro

Cons

- No work-life balance - Intense focus on cost reduction takes a big hit to benefits, merit increases, increasing layoffs, furloughs and asking people to do more work with less team members - Intransigent Leadership with very low capability to give directions and analyze information. Data and insights need to be spoon-fed as they barely can understand charts or even manipulate a spreadsheet, and since they are continuously rotating between leadership positions they never really know enough about their current role to make educated decisions - No identity, no brand recognition. The company operates focused on it's stock price and communications to investors and doesn't really care what product/service they want to be known for - People need to behave as jerks in order to progress in this company, so expect a very harsh environment - Mixed communications and directions. The leadership juggles with the things they need to be compliant (diversity and inclusion, people development, avoiding turnover, recognition, safety, security...) and things they are told to do which in the majority of cases it's the complete opposite. On one hand they send a nice and pretty company-wide communication stating how much they care about employees and how strong of a company we are but on the other hand they require you to select a fixed % of bad performers within your group (even if they're not) and to present a plan for FTE reductions throughout the year. - As employee do not expect to be considered a valuable asset to this company, even if they try to say otherwise, (which they don't really do often anyway), it is hard to listen to the HR leaders and realize that 15% annual turnover is good enough for them, 10% of which is people leaving voluntarily, that's right, every year ten percent of the workforce decides to leave and half of the reminding five percent are laid off, but the senior leadership think that's ok because people are not what's important for this company, results are important and how those results impact cost and therefore revenue, stock price and the company's image to investors

Pros

The team is great and people are excited to have you there. You are given value-added work and projects week 1. There are a lot of other interns at both the graduate and undergraduate level so there is a strong sense of intern community and support. If you have to relocate for the internship, complete housing is provided (they find you an apartment and pay for everything - results on the apartment itself may vary but are generally close to the office).

Cons

Varying start dates led to varying first day experience. The onboarding day for those who had it day 1 was great, but some interns got it after their first week and had little direction day 1.
