Pros

The CRD team in London has some of the kindest and smartest people you'd ever find in the corporate world. It was an absolute pleasure working with them during my time there. The team also has a clear and fast track for promotion. If you're serious about staying in the industry and are looking for quick career advancement, this is a good place for you. The culture is great, and everyone is caring and appreciative of each other. It really feels like a family. The hours are also quite standard (9-5:30, no need for overtime work if you are efficient) and much better than other lines of work (ex. finance and management consulting).

Cons

If you are the inquisitive type, the job would likely feel repetitive once you settle in. This is sadly the nature of the compliance research industry, where the work is to find out the "what" but not the "why". The company pays its associates better than most (probably all) competitors in the city, but it is still not comparable to people of similar educational background working at other, more lucrative, industries (but they work much longer hours).

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.
