Pros

Big company with decent name recognition, pay and benefits are fair but nothing to write home about.

Cons

Management, particularly in the sales compensation department, encourages a culture of bullying, harrassment of their direct reports and punishment for the smallest of errors. You will be given minimal training on your job duties before being asked to take on core reports and process and then when you inevitably make a mistake you will be bullied and punished for doing so. Be prepared to work overtime as the department is routinely understaffed due to their inability to retain talent. If you enjoy corporate politics, back biting, and poor work life balance then this job is sure to be rewarding. For all else, I would stay far, far away

Pros

- Good company wide culture (see notes below on ratings specific culture) good people - Great work life balance (especially for finance in NYC) - Opportunity to learn from most of the c-suite - If you want the return offer you can usually get it (only know one person from my year who wanted one and didn't get one). - The ratings intern program is essentially gauging if your competent to extend a return offer. You don't actually do much work for your team.

Cons

- Can't touch anything an actual associate does because of regulations in industry (don't get exposure with what you'll actually be doing full time). - Because you can't touch anything you basically spend the entire summer being talked at by senior analysts (learned a ton but can get repetitive). - Hybrid schedule is only really adhered to by associates on your team, so the office feels deserted at times. The seniors don't come into the office much. The ratings floors (separate from the rest of the business) have a stale and silent feeling. - Because you don't really do much for your team it's hard to create relationships with them. - Your capstone project can be on a completely different industry then the one you're assigned to.
