Pros

Some very good friendly people and colleagues

Cons

Bully boy style of management exists - people treated as units rather than people. No leadership from line managers, often non existent with very poor people skills Staff not appraised properly and sometimes left quite without career support or progression HR is in particular not great at dealing with staff issues. Again poor people skills.

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.
