About You
Well coordinated between case studies (doing), presentations and training (learning), and networking (interacting).
I definitely felt like the firm had invested time in me as a spring intern.
The training was terrific, I would have liked some more feedback on the first case study which would help build into the next one.
The training in corporate finance was excellent and will prepare me well for my studies on this topic.
The Company
Great balance between presentations, case studies, training, networking. You were always busy - in a very good way.
Friendly, eventful and filled with personal development.
The external vendor was superb.
Not going into the IBD floor or learning more specifics about "A day in an analyst's life" did drag this down a bit, but overall - you got some insights from panels.
You did learn a lot, but culture is best discovered through work, not presentations.
Definitely gave me insights into the industry, which was very helpful.
Everything Else
-
Yes, well organized - both round table and panels.
-
A bit - not too much. However, I wouldn't have wanted to focus more on this.
