Pros

Pay and benefits are decent. There are also quite some fringe benefits which are attractive.

Cons

Culture similar to government, political correctness is important. The work is not motivating, waiting for lunch time when I get to the office and waiting for getting off work after lunch. Still very male dominant and not diverse, although the company is trying.

Pros

- big company - brand-name effect - accepts interns of all years I actually really enjoyed my experience and what I learnt. the environment is lax, yet employees are willing to help you learn. Part of the attractiveness of working in a big company is that their internship programs will be more established, and MTR delivered just that. My project experience was satisfying, and there was a strong sense of letting interns take ownership over their projects.

Cons

- bureaucratic - slow pace, stagnant (my manager had to wait 10 years for his promotion) - mean age is 35+ MTR has a monopoly over the metro services in Hong Kong. As such, there isn't a sense of always being better and better, but rather just keep doing what they have been doing all this time. As an intern, I found it hard to introduce new concepts, software and tools to the company.
