Pros

- Everyone is incredibly nice and bubbly, never had a bad experience - Impactful work that does make a difference - Opportunity for various site-visits on Fridays, and to hang with other interns - Learned a lot about wastewater and government work - Hours were 7am-3pm, which was really nice - Emphasis on diversity and inclusion, felt welcomed here

Cons

- Weird work-from-home policy (some interns got none, others got anywhere from 0.5 to 3 days WFH per week, starting after 30 days of employment) - Very slow, many days I would have literally nothing to do - $21 is low pay for the Boston area, in my opinion - Overly structured career progression if you land a full-time role, you basically have to wait till someone dies or retires to advance. Consistent with government work
