Pros

Exposure to many business units. Ability to network across the company. Travel to the corporate office and meet other interns. Accessibility to mentors and leaders within T. Rowe. Flexibility in working with management for projects. If hired full-time you have incredible potential for movement within the company if you have the drive, this can be (within reason) irrespective of your background. Great work/life balance. CEO is a fantastic role model for the company. Paid trip to Baltimore .

Cons

Large lack of structure and ambiguity of expectations placed on interns. Your performance is directly tied to supervisor involvement, if you get stuck with a bad supervisor it reflects on you instead. There is little you can do about it and complaining makes you look incompetent. Curriculum is largely a formality and not follow, huge disappointment considering it's over 30 pages long and clear someone spent a great deal of time on it. It's a leadership internship, you are expected to be a leader yet you are given no responsibilities as a leader. You could fake leadership and get outstanding feedback. Severe favoritism with internship program managers that is not tied to performance but personal preference. Lower pay than competitors for permanent positions. Not a technically internship (you don't learn a specific job) while left entirely up to you to find out what the business model really is.

Pros

Total compensation is competitive, new hires are eager to jump in, and it seems like a company strategy is finally coming together. Things continue to move slowly though because projects from the loudest voice or most tenured associates tend to get prioritized and throw off critical investments into fixing data, process, and tech debt issues to mature our ability to market like it’s 2026 instead of 2016.

Cons

Too many bottlenecks to execution; If you’re seeking to make a meaningful impact, don’t expect it fast. Expect to navigate uncertainty while the company claims to help clients do this for their portfolios instead of helping associates to help clients — This is branded fluff for leadership without clear direction, driving teams to waste too much time and energy in meetings and boring demo decks every month to make being busy look like value by being the loudest voice, which is what you’ll notice many of the most tenured associates do best. Slides might look pretty but AI doesn’t make sense of this noise and clients don’t benefit from all the hours spent in PowerPoint. Unclear ownership leads to internal redundancies or team friction, on top of the inconsistent documentation and fragmented data siloes that are ironically impeding readiness for AI mandates coming from the CEO.
