Pros

If you speak to the people on the desks you can find some smart and accomplished people. It's really what you make of it so if you find smart people and do some projects or valuations for them it can be good experience and you can have some worth while things to put on your resume.

Cons

It lacks structure so if you do not seek out people to learn from you can easily wind up with nothing to show for the internship.

Pros

life gets a whole lot better when you leave...think Katie Holmes escaping from Tom Crusie

Cons

This place is run like the Mob. Start with their Forgivable Loans that masquerade as Sign-Ons to their REU's, which are really fogatsi's, this place is rotten to its core. As for their pre -employment promises, they are only reliable if you happen to line all the ducks up. Should you dare to resign, that's when the dark arts came to the fore. H.R, Legal and Machiavellian management will try and break you. They also have a shameless PR department who champion their Charities...Jimmy Savill also did much for Charity. The sooner their clients realise who they are working with, only then will they be forced to change. Rule & regulation are sport for the wiseguys, and those who can circumvent the rule, rule the nest.
