Pros

Great resume booster for those in the financial/ accounting fields as the Company provides hands on experience for sophomores (though i recommend a big four accounting firm or nationwide wide bank for juniors). Interns are taught to do the exact job of full time fund accounts (albeit interns handle fewer/ less complicated funds). In addition, the Company thoroughly attempted to create open channels of communication and foster that team environment, though often times, the work is meant for individuals.

Cons

Interns were randomly assigned positions within the department without a choice or option to rotate.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
