Pros

Decent salaries. Some good coworkers with talent and great ideas.

Cons

Went from 2 to 5 days in office. Toxic leadership. HR doesn’t do anything about complaints. Some directors are decent, but others do everything they can to undermine you if you don’t fit into their clique and kiss up to them.

Pros

Good culture Easy to coffee chat people Easy to get involved in projects - just ask. Talk to HR to get good advice on getting ahead. Feel free to be open with your manager if you want to try another internship next summer - internal hiring process happens before apps open to the public so get on that if you find a business division interesting or appealing.

Cons

Lots of reorgs happened within company and some teams are stretched at least temporarily. Also not every team that welcomed interns is actually hiring for next year or even for forseeable future, so if you're comfortable and want a return offer, make sure to ask if that isn't made perfectly clear to you.
