Pros

Great learning experience for newcomers A lot can be learnt from coworkers

Cons

Very long hours that are not paid. You are expected to work day-night if needed and you are not rewarded for it. The pay is too low, which explains the high company turnover. Limited promotion possibilities. Tenure is more important than knowledge, skills and what one can actually do when it comes to promotion.

Pros

It can give interns their first glimpse into Fortune 500 client work. One of the few opportunities that directly seeks after political science students.

Cons

I had a terrible experience with most managers. They had a tendency to openly question the intelligence and professional capabilities of interns; mind you, undergraduate and graduate students, which is the worst thing for someone in that stage to hear. When I pushed back on a manager who questioned my intellectual ability to do analytical work, I was labeled as combative and almost fired. As a result of my vocality, certain managers pretended like I didn't exist to them, something I still find traumatic in hindsight this day. I know other interns and externs were also openly told they didn't have the intellectual ability to perform their work at a high level.
