Pros

Golden handshake, pays well, little work, can get away with doing minimal work

Cons

Lack of personal & career development, little learning opportunity, lack of initiative & ambition from surrounding team, lack of support from team for development etc. Speaks volumes about the business when the regional leader, area manager, & senior engineer all leave within the same month to pursue other opportunities.

Pros

- big company - brand-name effect - accepts interns of all years I actually really enjoyed my experience and what I learnt. the environment is lax, yet employees are willing to help you learn. Part of the attractiveness of working in a big company is that their internship programs will be more established, and MTR delivered just that. My project experience was satisfying, and there was a strong sense of letting interns take ownership over their projects.

Cons

- bureaucratic - slow pace, stagnant (my manager had to wait 10 years for his promotion) - mean age is 35+ MTR has a monopoly over the metro services in Hong Kong. As such, there isn't a sense of always being better and better, but rather just keep doing what they have been doing all this time. As an intern, I found it hard to introduce new concepts, software and tools to the company.
