Pros

I applied to be an intern during the summer after my junior year in college. I had a wonderful interview experience - challenging but enjoyable - and was accepted into the program. After this summer, I was eager to return to Sotheby's. I kept in touch with HR during my senior year and was offered a position as a Floater after graduation. The Floater Program has allowed me to see so many different aspects of the company and become familiar with the different groups, personalities, and types of work at Sotheby's. The HR team has provided me with constructive feedback along the way and helped match me with departments that need my skill set and will simultaneously help me develop professionally.

Cons

I think it can be challenging to enter such a fast-paced corporate environment after college. The senior management sets high expectations and demands hard work. Floaters are expected to pick up on this quickly.

Pros

You get to understand the various sub art markets and which auction houses are able to better sell an artist or style.

Cons

Not enough pay. It's miniscule.
