Pros

The researchers in general have very high capability, stimulating to work with many of them. The research facility is well equiped for the most part.

Cons

Energy transition involves big ambiguity, hard to anticipate when commercialization could be realized as government funding would be a core part of sustaining business, which gets impacted by many uncontrollable factors including election. The competition is very at high level and the 5% rule forces even the most capable people to leave.

Pros

Good opportunities for networking and travel.

Cons

A significant HR issue between interns occurred during my internship and was handled very poorly. Once the matter came to HR’s and leadership’s attention, it was not officially resolved until months after the internship had ended. The VP privately apologized for the situation, but the overall response was inadequate and felt as though the situation was being swept under the rug. The lack of timely communication and follow-up created a very uncomfortable environment for a young intern and significantly impacted what was otherwise a positive internship experience.
