Pros

• Good pay - because let's be honest, that's why you're working here • Quick learning - there's no training, so you have to learn quickly to survive • Everyone is smart - you get to work with some wickedly intelligent people

Cons

• No respect unless you're a chemical engineer • You will not succeed unless you are a hyper Type-A Consultant personality • Forced rankings and pressure-cooker environment puts everyone on edge • High stress, up or out culture drives everyone to only care about themselves • There's a procedure for how to walk up stairs, and you will be evaluated on your ability to follow it

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.
