Pros

Excellent internal professional networking and opportunities for professional excellence. Great office culture; open, relaxed, friendly, fun! Sports and Social budget available for the office allows office curry nights or activity days. 37.5hr working and flexi-time allows you structure work as you need. High professional standards. Very knowledgeable experts can be found on just about any subject you care to mention. Good pay which is continuous reviewed against industry. Large number of training courses available (in theory).

Cons

In SNI there seems to be a lack of really good projects. Lack of excitement and drive seems business as usual. Employee owned culture expects over time to be taken as unpaid. No training budget; CPD and training is by your own effort as it is see as your own benefit. No backing to professional excellence or CSR activities from management; all by your own work.

Early career experiences can really shape how people view the industry, so it is great to see you found the projects interesting during your internship. We also appreciate your honest feedback about quieter periods. Finding the right balance between giving interns meaningful work and managing project demands can be a challenge at times, and it is something we continue to work on to make sure placements feel engaging and valuable throughout. Thank you for sharing your experience and for the contribution you made during your internship in Boston.
