About You
The two weeks have been extremely interesting, insightful and collaborative. It has been the most rewarding experience on both a personal and professional level.
Individuals invested a lot of time explaining their work, concepts or helping you with your projects. Everyone takes a genuine interest in what you have to think as well as values your input and ideas.
An exceptional Buddy System was in place, which allowed for the best support and guidance. The Buddy enabled you to quickly find your way around the firm and your respective team. However, not only the buddy but generally there was a great sense of support among everyone.
The two weeks allowed you to improve your team working skills, collaboration, but also improved your knowledge of financial markets and the firm in general.
The Company
The structure of the insight was great. There was just the right combination of firm wide events, networking sessions, possibilities to shadow work and catch ups with individuals.
The atmosphere on a whole was extremely welcoming, friendly and enthusiastic, both between the interns and the full time employees as well as among the interns. The continued enthusiasm and motivation that one could experience everyday is such an example to interns, what good work ethic looks like.
There were many talks, educational sessions, panels and other initiatives that help us with training and development.
Being able to talk to members across many different teams you were able to get a good insight into what the job would be like.
This I would say was where we as inters could experience the most. Throughout the two weeks, we were able to really get a good insight into what the culture at the firm is like and what the individuals value.
One could get a very good and holistic insight into the world of finance, which is especially helpful with regards to your future career path.
Everything Else
Accommodation was paid for and all expenses were reimbursed for.
You were given a lot of opportunities for networking and for getting toknow other employees of the company. This was also a great way to find out about different team, work styles and the firms culture.
They were professionally organised, fund and very insightful. At all times your presence was valued and appreciated.
You were able to get a great insight into the affinity networks within the firm.
Definitely. It has been the most rewarding experience, fun and very insightful. I can only speak of my time at the firm in my highest regard and I will definitely recommend applying.
