Pros

13th month salary and can eat cheap meals at MTR depot and cafe

Cons

Your fate depends on the team you’re in, some teams’ culture are ok, yet some are very harsh, even under the same department, ask around and do your research. Be prepared to have very heavy workload, and work outside office hours are normal. Boss expect you to 24/7 on call to handle ad hoc issues. No good for those looking for work-life balance, as you have to be included in the “on-call roster” for weekday and weekend regularly.

Pros

- big company - brand-name effect - accepts interns of all years I actually really enjoyed my experience and what I learnt. the environment is lax, yet employees are willing to help you learn. Part of the attractiveness of working in a big company is that their internship programs will be more established, and MTR delivered just that. My project experience was satisfying, and there was a strong sense of letting interns take ownership over their projects.

Cons

- bureaucratic - slow pace, stagnant (my manager had to wait 10 years for his promotion) - mean age is 35+ MTR has a monopoly over the metro services in Hong Kong. As such, there isn't a sense of always being better and better, but rather just keep doing what they have been doing all this time. As an intern, I found it hard to introduce new concepts, software and tools to the company.
