Pros

Looks good on a resume

Cons

The red tape is really mind blowing, and in my opinion and experience - the more you are there, the more your job becomes administrative and away from your core job function. I used to be a top tech recruiter, but now me and most of my colleagues are basically glorified data administrators in my immediate experience over several years here, Nd what I’ve seen with others Leadership is out of touch, outdated, and way too interested in data for the appearance of having data vs. actually performing a job or using that data to action things or influence change with the business, in my opinion Pay is not as competitive as they make it seem, both to internal employees and external candidates. The brand name is heavily used to sell the opportunity If you are in tech recruiting, be prepared to work 50-70 hours a week, if you work in the US... Very micromanaged Diversity and inclusion programs are heavy in appearance, but the business is not held accountable in my experience Strong performance is seemingly not rewarded beyond being told to be happy you have the job, based on my experience and my coworkers in 2020 going into 2021, similar with 2019, 2018 and previous years too

Pros

The team was supportive and willing to answer questions. I gained practical experience in industry research, financial analysis, Excel, and data organization while working on real projects. Managers provided helpful feedback, and the internship was a good opportunity to understand how research and analytical work is completed in a professional environment.

Cons

Some assignments could become repetitive, especially data cleaning, database updates, and reviewing large amounts of information. Deadlines could also be tight during busy periods. Because the internship was relatively short, interns sometimes had limited ownership over longer-term projects.
