Pros

Duke is a laid back environment. Most of the company leaves by noon on Fridays and everyone works relaxed hours. Benefits are good, aside from the health insurance.

Cons

Since the merger with Progress there has been nothing but trouble. Progress was in financial ruins due to management running that company into the ground. Unfortunately much of that management has been brought into Duke. There are numerous managers (upper level) that do not have degrees nor the competence and training to do their job. The Progress side is like a fraternity that sticks together and promotes each other within. It is very disheartening. They are quickly running out the talent and bringing this once fine company down. I have seen employees use their company cards for lunch every day of the week as well as company vehicles given to employees that have no need. Instead of making employees move to Charlotte they allow a large number of individuals to travel almost weekly on the company’s dime to Charlotte headquarter. The fleecing is alarming. I am concerned not only as an employee but as a customer of Duke as well. This company is in serious need of a management over hall.

Keep in mind this is in the eyes of an intern but: - employees are friendly and willing to help if asked - lots of learning opportunity - projects in which you can apply what you learned - lenient WFH

Cons

- the quality of your project can be dependent on which team you are on and your mentor guiding you
