Pros

Benefits, a steady paycheck, and the best colleagues you could ask for.

Cons

Hypocritical Leadership: A rigid, punitive Return-to-Office (RTO) policy is being enforced on local staff while over half of the executive team remains remote, 4 out of 7 are remote. This "do as I say, not as I do" mentality has shattered company morale. Toxic Management Culture: Leadership leans on intimidation and "radical compliance" rather than trust. Publicly telling dissatisfied employees to "just leave" has created a culture of fear and contempt. Instability: Constant "fire drill" mentalities, shifting goals, and poor strategic planning result in wasted hours and employee burnout. High Turnover & Brain Drain: Excessive layoffs followed by aggressive hiring of "yes-people" has led to a massive loss of tribal knowledge. Star performers are "rage quitting" due to being overworked (doing the jobs of 3–4 people) or being pipped out because they don't fall in line with newer regime. Lack of Growth & Resources: While the workforce is called the "growth engine," employees are denied the resources and career paths needed to succeed, while upper management layers continue to expand through nepotism. Questionable Ethics: A culture of protectionism for those close to the top, leading to a total deficit of accountability for leadership.

Pros

From day one I was treated as a real contributor rather than just an intern. I had genuine hands-on exposure to enterprise cloud environments supporting actual clients across Microsoft 365, Citrix VDI, VMware vCloud Director, and Mimecast. The opportunity to lead a knowledge base quality assurance project for a company-wide ServiceNow migration was a career highlight. Several colleagues were incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in my growth. The work is meaningful and the technology stack is impressive.

Cons

Manager engagement with interns was inconsistent. Communication around intern performance, expectations, and potential full time opportunities could be more structured and transparent throughout the program rather than only at the end. Interns are left to figure out their standing largely on their own which can be stressful especially when the internship is coming to a close.
