Pros

Opportunities to work on large scale global projects and modern technologies. The company offers financial stability and a standard corporate benefits package. Good infrastructure for technical specialists.

Cons

Extremely toxic management culture at the middle management level, characterized by professional stalking and mobbing. There is an implicit expectation of working late hours (often until 11 PM) under the guise of "transformation." The organization fosters an environment of internal politics and whistleblowing rather than collaboration. Senior managers are often forced to manage underperforming or difficult teams without any support from HR or leadership, leading to severe burnout.

Pros

The internship has been a genuinely good mix of research, engineering, and practical software work. I have been giving meaningful technical problems instead of busy work, with enough freedom to explore solutions while still having support from experienced engineers. The team culture is collaborative, thoughtful, and very open to questions. I have learned a lot about power systems, simulation software, high-performance computing, and how research ideas turn into tools that actually support engineering work

Cons

Like many large organizations, some processes can move slowly, especially around software access, approvals, and tooling. It can take time to get the full development environment set up, and working across different systems. That said, most of the issues are structural rather than team-related
