Pros

Great resources, as far as information on equities go. I had access to a ton of research and was able to learn a lot through that. Great building/office Occasional Free food Really nice people. Given the industry, this was a pleasant surprise.

Cons

Lack of performance review/feedback from supervisor. A lot of my duties, like compiling and summarizing the weekly reports from various sources, I'm pretty sure were never even looked at by my employer. Interning there is kind of a dead-end position. To actually get hired as a FA there you need sales experience.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
