Pros

Some Business travel opportunities available

Cons

Bureaucratic company Extremely poor middle management Work Life Balance is definitely something some managers pay lip service to but don't actually encourage Vacation policies are archaic Extremely hierarchical company--you don't get to have an opinion until you're high on the org chart Ranking system does not motivate collaboration or hard work New campus is not "Google-like"--they nickel & dime you for everything! No bonuses No internal job postings--a committee decides on your next move for you

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.
