Very focused with respect to plan and execution Fair compensation and incentive package Great working environment Conscious of needs of all employees

Cons

Middle management doesn't always have the toolset to be qualified managers. Training programs don't always focus on carreer building and tend to be generic in nature. Communication from the top is lacking during projects. Poor management and execution of large initiatives

Pros

-People were friendly and would do coffee chats/one-on-one lunches. -Other interns were great. -Base compensation as an analyst is on the higher end.

Cons

-Feedback from intern manager only given at the end of a rotation differed greatly from what team members would directly tell me which was confusing. Makes me think people are only nice on the surface. -Team members prioritized some interns over others in terms of work given and time spent. -Teams in the same product group had wildly different work life balance with some working 70+ hours a week and others working close to 40. -Has high turnover overall due to lower compensation at the Director+ level.
