Pros

No Pros to be honest. You can make phone calls everyday or check linkedin for the managers.

Cons

Bad treatment. You barely learned something. The boss just didn't care about the interns. Interns get no payment.

Thank you for your feedback! As you noted, you get what you put into it. There is a reason we only added the three month summer internship to accept in-school students this year, to help the higher work load due to deal flow we are having this summer. However, with the recent two 3-month in school students quit with one email the night before and the other no show with no communication for some days at the last week the person promised will be there to transition the person's tasks to others , we are reconsidering if we will do the same next summer again. talking to executives and listening to the client meetings, preparing and do companies research are related to M&A activities. If you have a way of thinking how M&A should be already, then you should not need to come here to learn our model, as we also tried to explained our model in the interviewing stage and training period. People only had done 1 month or so of the internship then quit, we cannot say if what you have experienced is the same as other interns who completed 3months or full 6-months had experienced, but we thank you for your comments and suggestions. We made it clear that your 3-month internship and our process will not likely to involve transaction. If we do have the needs, we will need more experienced people like other firms do. For using Bloomberg, we are still in conversation and discussion with them, and after the trial, every company has right to compare with other tools and make decision by their needs and budget. What I don't understand here, is that many people I have noticed, don't communicate directly with their company or supervisor if they do have disagreement or different point of views with the company policy or goals. if you just quit in one day, then come up to this social media place to share what you think, there is no stand you are taking, and how you can make a difference in any organization? We have exit survey and review, and we also don't see you put those comments and suggestions as you put here onto your complete survey. We will continue to improve our communication with our interns, so they may take this as a place they can grow and see their career goal and direction from here (many of them do, and they got the jobs they want after exploring and doing things here). There are so many things we cannot explain enough. Again, we appreciate all the suggestions and criticism, We will take back to examine ourselves. We also have commitment to our interns who takes their time here, no matter what they think this internship is for them in the end. The program is designed to be a boot-camp, nothing easy about it. The internship is designed for those who want to get jobs period! And those that complete it get great jobs because they got the experience that employers want; the ability to be on time, the ability to do the same tasks over and over and faster and faster and to figure out how to be better at it. The treatment is very "get the job done culture" and not for those that need praising is spot on.

Do Not Work Here!

Pros

Some of the interns are kind of cool, there really is not much else I can say in terms of positives. Really the fact the other people I worked with got me through this place. Otherwise it is something to put on the resume.

Cons

i remember several occasions the CEO would swear and yell at other interns, absolutely not professional behavior. Especially for people who work for you for free. I really did not learn anything in this internship and as far as networking to a new position- everyone I worked with that moved on to something better got the positions outside of this place. It really seemed very exploitive of an intership.
