Pros

- Very good learning experience - Knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful people in the office

Cons

The Chicago office is a commercial site, so all other interns for the bank sit in either New Jersey, New York, or Florida. Not necessarily a bad thing because it helped form better connections with everyone in the office, but networking with other interns was more difficult.
