Investment Consulting Intern at Aon

It was the exactly the experience of the industry I wanted to gain, and I thouroughly enjoyed learning about what Aon has to offer and contributing myself.

I got on with the whole team and would go as far as to say it's what made the internship enjoyable. The longer it went on the more responsibility I was given

They were always there if I had a question and I was given feedback repeatedly. Fortunately I also had a buddy, so I did not have to come to my supervisor for support very often

It varied between having a perfect balance or not enough, fortunately i wouldn't say it was ever too much work. Having the CSR project meant I had something to do to when the office wasn't busy

As said before, I was given more responsibility the longer the internship went on. I enjoyed talking with fund managers regularly and being left to organise tasks such as two major transitions. Due to the regulated environment, much of the work I did was checked over by others, but this was for all the right reasons.

The internship was incredibly relevent to my degree and gives me a greater understanding of the largest sector in the macro-economy. Knowledge learnt has given me a lot of food for thought for my disertation.

Very relaxed, with people making jokes and plenty of discussions on sport. It was a highly enjoyable working environment which worked efficiently also when necessary.

There was constant guidance from the graduates team, as well as many oppertunities laid on for us. We were able to attend training and have weekly learning sessions at lunch. At the induction I felt like a guest of honour

Many people from my team and outside invested their time to making sure I understood the industry and chose to delegate work to me when it probably would've been quicker to do it themselves than explain on occasions. The firm as a whole I feel has tried hard to make sure I develop the right skills and its the attention to developing staff which really attracts me to Aon in the long run.

Whether I have a job remains to be seen, but the grad scheme looks like a great oppertunity and I would like to be a part of this company in the years to come. The help you get such as time off to study make it an appealing pathway

I got on well with the other interns in my office, but due to the fact of their only being 4 of us their wasn't much scope for a social scene outside the office. When meeting up with the main cohort as special days these oppertunities were much more apparent

I didn't really do either in the area I worked in, but the commute was a little bit pricey. The main social activities I did with my other interns was getting lunch, which was always quite cheap and an enjoyabl break

football, other sports, trips to the pub and more
