Pros

Get to see celebrities and famous people. Get to attend (but only view) fancy events. Funded quite decently. Quality of meals and and snacks were never a problem.

Cons

Wouldn't say it was great working for a couple months as an intern. Yes there are friendly people but the high ranked employees tend to be very toxic and dogmatic. The atmosphere of the office depends on the mood of the high ranked person/people. If the boss is on a temper tantrum then might as well stay in the restroom and not come out.

Small team, so interns really do take on responsibilities and learn a lot. Managers are easy to approach and down-to-earth.

Sometimes communication between teams are not very smooth due to office design.
