Pros

Great Salary and Benefits, flex hours

Cons

Forced ranking is based on “who you know” instead of performance, which seems to hinder any real collaboration or teamwork. No trust between supervisors and employees. Annual review is more like an interview for your position, and is used to keep those that aren’t in the “cool crowd” in the bottom third.

Pros

Good opportunities for networking and travel.

Cons

A significant HR issue between interns occurred during my internship and was handled very poorly. Once the matter came to HR’s and leadership’s attention, it was not officially resolved until months after the internship had ended. The VP privately apologized for the situation, but the overall response was inadequate and felt as though the situation was being swept under the rug. The lack of timely communication and follow-up created a very uncomfortable environment for a young intern and significantly impacted what was otherwise a positive internship experience.
