Pros

Great intern events throughout the summer, at least one per week. There is always something to do.

You're given your own project to work on and complete throughout the summer. When you're done, you get ample opportunities to show off what you've accomplished to upper management.

Everyone is willing to help or chat with you about their role or the company.

Lots of financial knowledge to gain, with provided classes in finance and tech.

Cons

The work isn't always super challenging or structured, which makes it hard to focus and be productive sometimes.

The tech can be a bit restrictive since it's almost all proprietary, but the people who literally built it are around and willing to help you leverage it the best you can.

Not a fan of the open floor plan.

Advice to Management

Commit to the new agile structure and don't see it as a hassle. I feel it would be really helpful and allow developers to be more productive.

Have real stand-up meetings, make real estimates, and evaluate them, etc.
