Pros

There is always food (usually junk though) in the office. You can dress casually-ish. Decent office locations and parking.

Cons

Long hours and below average pay- officially they say they pay average market, but in reality if you talk to enough people privately about how much they make, you’ll soon discover it’s heavily based on favouritism and potentially nepotism. Subpar benefits but it works for some. Too dramatic and often inefficient about year-end. The Finance team has to do super long hours during that time, yet nothing else gets done for two weeks or so. Basically an utter S-show show at the end of every single fiscal year. They are just way too old school about it, and refuse to change. Then they try to keep peace by ordering more food for everyone! Amateur and certainly vindictive mangers- in Finance there they tend to be too clicky, so if you don’t fit from a personality perspective or you are just there to do your job and go home, then they will find ways to drive you out, no question about it.

Pros

The pay was a little lower than other internships I had ($25/h vs $28/h), but there were lots of perks like free food, golfing, and fun work events (curling, softball, bowling, etc.)

Cons

No work from home at all and longish hours (7:30am to 4:30pm). More flexibility would be nice.
