Pros

Open source software, ability to choose your own tools for tasks, city centre location, nice office, ability to move within company, looks good on your CV.

Cons

Terrible line managers, islands of knowledge, Lotus Notes, staff that stab each other in the back as bonuses/promotions are based on relative rankings rather than absolute performance.

Top tier company with growth opportunity

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.
