Pros

Positive overall company culture in general, colleagues across the firm are smart and wonderful individuals

Cons

Received only 2 days off in lieu for 4 full days of work performed on weekends and holidays. Worked on Saturdays and received communications during weekends, affecting personal time. Faced challenges meeting unrealistic timelines that prioritized manager's goals over personal deliverables. Entire day spent delivering manager’s own work, leaving no time for other priorities. Manager took credit for work without proper acknowledgment and passes on all blames. Escalations were not addressed seriously, leading to unresolved concerns within the work environment. Stakeholders feedback that manager was unreachable when working from home and constantly uses senior’s given priorities/name dropping as excuse to deflect their queries and questions. Manager communicates poorly and sets unclear expectations, offers little or no support or coaching on work related matters. Manager does not know system intricacies and rarely uses them personally. Goals were shifted due to poor memory or unclear expectations, impacting work consistency and outcomes. Manager is disorganised and not able to lead the team directionally.

Pros

The team was supportive and willing to answer questions. I gained practical experience in industry research, financial analysis, Excel, and data organization while working on real projects. Managers provided helpful feedback, and the internship was a good opportunity to understand how research and analytical work is completed in a professional environment.

Cons

Some assignments could become repetitive, especially data cleaning, database updates, and reviewing large amounts of information. Deadlines could also be tight during busy periods. Because the internship was relatively short, interns sometimes had limited ownership over longer-term projects.
