good base pay and incentive pay; flexible work environment; down to earth people; not demanding so good for family life

lack of competent people; lack of strategic vision and ability to execute it; no real leadership but mostly reactive knee jerk reactions; projects get started and then are killed late in the cycle; lots of really terrible managers get promoted to higher positions

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.
