Pros

Nice office and good people in the sections I was in. Worked in a Technology team, so learned a lot. They pay pretty well, and they have a good co-op program in place so its all in all a good place to work.

Cons

I wanted to work for a tech company, so working for a bank was not the best for me. I would advise that unless you like working in the tech parts of a non-software related company then you should steer clear. Not that they are a bad company but there is a different opinion of how to do things than if the companies focus is on the software itself

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.
