Pros

Process driven activities pushed positive results. Everyone was very intelligent and very open to making time to speak to you when you first start the job. The open workspace was ideal for creating an open atmosphere to communicate yet it was very difficult to approach management without an appointment request.

Cons

The work life balance is non-existent. The pay is great, yet when you factor in the hours worked it ends up being a very low $/hr. One is really selling their soul to work here. Management repeats the vision statement about the company and asks that you create presentations based on the most current "vision." Be, careful of how you work on projects as an intern. You may be told that you are doing fine one day, then the next day you will find out that your work is unsatisfactory. The work environment is competitive and aggressive. People are only willing to help you if it will benefit them. Management preaches about creating creative presentations, yet they must be completed in a preset template.

Pros

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

Cons

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
