Pros

You have a job. You have a job. You have a job. You have a job. You have a job. Wash, rinse, and repeat.

Cons

You leave dumber before you came into the company. PMC/Performance Management Central is a joke. HR is just a suicide prevention hotline. A new fire drill everyday. Innovation is stifled. People are not accountable for their actions. People got away with being shluffs. WM, CCB, and CIB (in order of increasing idiocy) were the biggest bunch of idiots I worked with. When tempers flare, the CIO would come in to calm the waters. Extremely poor hiring practices. Company would do things just to get folks to leave and not have to pay severance. You are monitored when you enter or leave a building, when you go to the cafeteria, when you print, if you work remote, as you walk to and from your car. Everything is watched. You are just a standard ID. Run...run as fast as you can away from this place and don't look back. "Chase what matters!"

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.
