Motley Fool?
I did a search before and didn't find much on Motley Fool...wanted to hear people's opinion on the company for a summer internship and how other banks might view an internship here. Now, before most of you start trashing the company I really want an objective perspective because I feel like most of the readers of this forum have the "BB or die" kind of attitude anyway. This is their investment internship program and I would definitely be involved in looking at companies and doing some fundamental analysis to an extent, but I'm eventually looking to move onto buy-side research at a fund.
Obviously won't get the structured program that a sell-side research division at a bank might offer, I am aware of that. Also no name brand is what I'm worried about as I apply for FT to banks and AM firms.
Looking through glassdoor reviews people have nothing but praises for the company but I'm a little skeptical about that.

If it's the only thing you can get I suppose it's alright, but I've never seen a piece by them that made any sense. Really a garbage research effort 99.9% of the time so I would be skeptical that they're going to teach you more than the absolute basics and looking at ratios or something. They'll spend an entire article talking about how one company is better than another simply because of its ROE or something. Very hysterical stuff. But it's recognizable and probably better than no research at all, so I wouldn't rule it out and working with the actual company could be better than the articles they put out... which I think are by contributing authors rather than the actual group? I know they have a small investment fund too so maybe you'd be working exclusively with that?
Most of their newsletters start with, "Want to return 4,500% by Friday? Watch the video to see which stock I'm talking about." (Proceed to 45 minute video that says absolutely nothing).
It's a comedy newsletter, right?
