      Pros

      My benefits are great, and other than the most senior management person in my office, my superiors are pretty accommodating and fair about pretty much everything.

      Cons

      Everyone is very wrapped up in "the meeting" culture and spends far too much time talking about things and not enough time doing. My department in particular could be so much more productive if people were just allowed to do their job and not have to have a summit over every decision being made and talking things to death. If you have 5 meetings in a day, that only leaves you barely 2 hours to get anything done, but each meeting generates at least 3 hours of additional work to be done. I have seen this in many departments I have worked in across the company

      Ml research intern

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You work with experts from every field possible in science from Mechanobiology to Metallurgy and working as a ML intern along with scientists from different fields gave me a lot of exposure and how to work in a research department.

      Cons

      One challenge encountered was maintaining a clear focus on training objectives, as the evolving parameters required continuous reassessment of the model's learning priorities. Additionally, the absence of established ground truth for the domain presented a limitation in validating and guiding the approach effectively.
