Pros

Company provides some benefits like some paid techincal and soft skills training, and some after-work events. Nice office and environment. Good focus on ergonomics (including office equipment) with in the IT world is not typical.

Cons

Changes are almost impossible to be made which has led the company to be way behind the industry standards on several lines within IT. Culture is rather rigid and very vertical. Some usual benefits that the IT branch has are not provided (like partial homeworking). Also, the recent decision of outsourcing work to India has cut off the development perspective for the IT people.

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.
