Benefits. Resume Booster. Build credibility in the industry.

Cons

Working on meritocratic culture is mentally exhausting because doing your work doesn't cut it. You have to compete against your peers every year. Even if you do well, you can still get ranked at the bottom.

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.
