Ridiculously low pay for interns in return for high expectations and long hours Team-based system makes for an unhealthy and somewhat anti-social work environment Relatively conservative corporate culture but caries by team and boss Work-life balance not always honored due to competitiveness within the company

Pros

They provide a wealth of learning materials to further your career.

Cons

My experience was that upper management does not understand what those in lower level positions do, and they don't take advantage of experience and knowledge of those below them to make strategic decisions.
