About You
Loved my job, it was one of the best experiences I had. The trainings, shadowing sessions and tech project were quite useful and helpful in deciding towards a career in GS as well as getting to know different people and how they work at GS. Overall it was an amazing experience.
To a high extent. The effort and investment GS does in its interns is just amazing, as well as how well the program was structured and the helpful culture all around you made it exciting.
I received guidance accross different divisions and each of those were not only detailed and helpful about explaining the work they do but also very interactive.
This internship not only helped me shape my though process towards working in a specific field but also provided me with the skills such as soft skills as well as the tech skills for becoming a better and robust software engineer in terms of front-to-back.
The Company
It was very well structured, the sessions, trainings and tech project were very well explained and we had sufficient time to network and learn more about GS
Very healthy, interactive, professional and out-of-the-box thinking environment. It not only enhanced by problem solving skills and critical thinking but also gave me an insight as to how things work in a real working environment at a big firm.
GS invests in their interns a lot in terms of providing not only the best resources but also the best working environment in terms of working in real environment.
High extent. It really helped me understand how I can work in the SDLC environment as i want to be a software eng developing backend infrastructure software
Quite a lot It gave me an insight of the typical days, how teams collaborate, how do they maintain work-social life balance and working under pressure.
Very valuable I am quite clear as what specific stream i would choose under if i work as a software eng in a firm in the future.
Everything Else
The pay was good and was worth the overall experience.
Yes there were loads and they were really helpful in terms of understanding how the firm promotes diversity.
