Pros

Working here has been a genuinely positive experience. The company places a strong focus on supporting employees in their studies and professional chartership, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to advance both personally and professionally. This commitment not only helps staff achieve their career goals but also enhances the quality of service delivered to clients. The culture is one of encouragement and growth, where development is seen as a shared journey between the company and its people.

Cons

Although the company promotes the idea that employees can move between industries and projects, in practice this flexibility is limited. Once you are placed with a client, it can be very difficult to transition to another project. This can feel restrictive, especially compared to the expectations set during recruitment.

Early career experiences can really shape how people view the industry, so it is great to see you found the projects interesting during your internship. We also appreciate your honest feedback about quieter periods. Finding the right balance between giving interns meaningful work and managing project demands can be a challenge at times, and it is something we continue to work on to make sure placements feel engaging and valuable throughout. Thank you for sharing your experience and for the contribution you made during your internship in Boston.
