Vantaggi

Prestige. People know the company. Employees. Very polite, very nice to interns, competent, smart. Responsibility given to interns. I worked on documents that went all the way to the top of the company. Nice site. Willing to give vacation time to interns. Company name is fantastic for resume when applying elsewhere.

Svantaggi

Mergers and general industry trend means pressure for jobs. IT is messy in some regards and slow. Mergers don't help this. Rigid and you can't disclose much of your work outside of the company (even in business units). Comes with the industry, but... No compensation beyond salary. Not even paying July 4th (done in 2010). Tons of contractors and consultants over real employees. Between the first point and this, expecting conversion to a job after the internship is unlikely. Referrals matter a lot to internships. Most of the interns have a parent at VP level or above.

Vantaggi

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Svantaggi

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
