About You
It was so much more than what I expected. I improved a lot both my technical knowledge and also grew as a person.
I think all of the time I spent here was used to its most and I do not feel like I wasted even a minute of my time.
Support from all of the views was provided - divisional and personal.
As I am studying degree related to my division I found it very useful in terms implementing my theoretical knowledge, and coming to deeper understanding of aspects.
The Company
Perfect combination of different classes and interactions, very good timeline.
Extremely friendly, open culture, everyone very helpful and open to conversation
I think the Human Capital Recruitment did the best job they did - we were provided sessions focused on deep understanding of the division but also our personal development and how to navigate our careers. Thus I think the composition and proportion of above mention sessions was just right to provide me with good picture of the industry.
I think all the information was provided. By talking to various people from different division and hearing out their personal views on the day to day duties provided me with the proper picture on how would my day look like if I am fortunate to start the full time position here after I graduate from university
Very much, at the beginning I did not really understand when everyone said that people is what matters and when i came I was just so surprised when everyone was so open and willing to share not only their duties and work aspects etc. but also managing their personal life.
I think during this placement that I enjoyed I made up my mind and realized that this is truly the division I would like to work at, I was provided all the resources needed for getting the true picture, I have used all of them and after summary of my programme I was pleased to feel that this is the right division for me
Everything Else
GS did its best to accommodate all the needs and provided all the support they could in terms of expenses and pay. I could go for my own preferences and pick the timing and means that could fit me. Also the programme was paid what I did not expect as its an insight program.
The time was also managed by me what I appreciated as I was able to pick one to one meeting of my interest
Very good- not only with employees regardless of their juniority / seniority level but also other interns
Heard a lot about them, under the time constraint did not get that chance to include myself. But sounds great!
I think this is the best program to attended for everyone interested in finance
