Pros

Good salary, that's the only thing I can say as plus point, joining JP. But that too is not very much high. You can get it outside as well.

Cons

No flexibility at all was in my team. Make sure to clear it before joining with your hiring manager. New building is in Docklands with no public transport going near to ofc. It's a long walk to reach office which is more difficult in rain. Third, check-in checkout everyday using a tool to monitor your hours. In terms of growth, you will be dependent on US team's pity to provide good work. Everything is decided by team sitting in US, even how many leaves one can take altogether. Your local lead has no power usually to make any decisions for you. No social club. No discount coupons. Cafeteria food is good but expensive, and as this new building is on Docklands, you don't have much options as well nearby.

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.
