Pros

Easy work Some very good people work there. If you get put in the right department, you will have a good time. The problem is that that's a pretty big if.

Cons

Management can be a bit cold and hostile, depending on which department you are in. They fixate on your shortcomings and mistakes and ignore your successes. Work is not challenging. Co-ops are expendable. They hire 5x as many co-ops as they intend to hire for full-time. They also will attempt to underpay you severely unless you aggressively advocate for yourself (but that applies to a lot of companies, I suppose). Little opportunity for long-term advancement. They won't admit it, but they are in decline. The whole industry is slowing down, and they are being left behind.

Pros

Had good compensation and benefit but has the way of corporate America…… expecting more work for less compensation.

Cons

Toxic work culture that rewards relationships to mid/upper management and HR (nepotism to family members and love interests/affairs). Mid/Upper management will talk down to interns and employees that do not meet unrealistic goals.
