Pros

None. An organization which is a complete dinosaur where the right hand does not even know there is a left hand, much less a right wrist attached to the aforementioned hand. Too many people who just are doing 'something" without understanding the goals, visions, or direction of the company or their department.

Cons

See best reasons to work for CIBC above. Most people are pigeoned holed to do something without understanding for whom or why. Feedback is poor and never mention anything in a negative way about anybody else otherwise you will be ostracized. Just keep you head down and repeat after me "yes sir". Even if you are the coffee guy and they they asked you for the project plan on something else.

Pros

-People were friendly and would do coffee chats/one-on-one lunches. -Other interns were great. -Base compensation as an analyst is on the higher end.

Cons

-Feedback from intern manager only given at the end of a rotation differed greatly from what team members would directly tell me which was confusing. Makes me think people are only nice on the surface. -Team members prioritized some interns over others in terms of work given and time spent. -Teams in the same product group had wildly different work life balance with some working 70+ hours a week and others working close to 40. -Has high turnover overall due to lower compensation at the Director+ level.
