Pros

I was lucky to get matched on a great team with a good culture. Work/life balance was fine, lots of opportunity for learning, and a healthy atmosphere. Job security is rather safe. Really agree with the direction of senior management and their approach to organizing.

Cons

Wouldn't say everyone had the same experience. You could be matched in a bad role or a bad team and hate your life, and there's not much you can do except bite the bullet for a year and switch teams, hoping the grass is greener (it might not be). You'll be better off going there, building your resume, and switching after 2-3 years to further your career if you want to be compensated fairly at market rate.

Pros

The team was supportive and willing to answer questions. I gained practical experience in industry research, financial analysis, Excel, and data organization while working on real projects. Managers provided helpful feedback, and the internship was a good opportunity to understand how research and analytical work is completed in a professional environment.

Cons

Some assignments could become repetitive, especially data cleaning, database updates, and reviewing large amounts of information. Deadlines could also be tight during busy periods. Because the internship was relatively short, interns sometimes had limited ownership over longer-term projects.
