I interviewed there for internship.. The intern I spoke with seemed unhappy. You will work maybe 60 hrs a week. Tons of assessment
I remember interviewing at big name AMC and research institutions and was constantly told to expect 60-80 hour weeks for the year. What a joke. No thanks.
The intern said the site didn't value self care and that if she could rank differently (knowing then what she did now) she would have; she said she would have ranked them second. The way the site works is there is an assessment every week. These are not short assessments, they are full batteries and usually the reports are about 15-20 pages. That being said, I do like the population they work with and if you are interested in juvenile forensic assessments and willing to basically do nothing but that for a year, then this is your site.
Actually, now that I'm thinking back to that interview, I did not like how vague the psychologists were when I asked how many hours a week I could expect to work. I feel like that I a reasonable question and they would not give me an answer. Also, I flew all the way there and the interview was 40min. You meet with all the psychologists at once and then you meet with one intern. Then the interview is over.
