Pros

4 weeks vacation + national holidays. 401K match Great name on resume. Although I have a list of dislikes, I do have to say I attained a great set of skills which will be valuable to me going forward.

Cons

Long hours. No work life balance, expected to work weekends and nights. Promotions are non-existent, get the salary you want at the time of hire. Senior Management is harsh... they don't do much but sit around and expect you to coordinate everything and get the job done. In the end, they just want to look good to their manager. Lack of flexibility in schedule - they claim they permit you working from home, but they don't. Lack of diversity. Lack of appreciation when greatness is accomplished.

Pros

The team was supportive and willing to answer questions. I gained practical experience in industry research, financial analysis, Excel, and data organization while working on real projects. Managers provided helpful feedback, and the internship was a good opportunity to understand how research and analytical work is completed in a professional environment.

Cons

Some assignments could become repetitive, especially data cleaning, database updates, and reviewing large amounts of information. Deadlines could also be tight during busy periods. Because the internship was relatively short, interns sometimes had limited ownership over longer-term projects.
