Spring Insight into Technology Intern Review

The idea behind Spring into Banking - Technology is extremely innovative and very well thought after. What I found particularly enjoyable about this week was how they taught us from programming to finance while still keeping everything casual and interesting. I would personally like to thank the human resources team, who were quite helpful and close to us the whole time.

Of course, there is always that fear that, because of our very nature as students, we would not be taken serious and appreciated by the employees at the bank. However, that was not whatsoever the case during this internship. I felt particularly valued during my time doing desk shadowing and rotations. I got the opportunity to see the inner workings of the bank within the technology division, and the same people that I was shadowing showed extreme care and appreciation to us.

I would like to mention two different parties here: the employees in the technology division and human resources. Firstly, I did not come across any person within the bank who was not willing to answer any of my questions, regardless of its quantity. I tend to ask interesting, yet difficult questions and they were able to answer perfectly all of them, giving me guidance and support. Even if my question was not technology related, the HR team was always there to support and accompany you.

I study Electronics Engineering and Computer Science. I therefore applied to the Technology Division. Although my initial fear was not been able to understand the majority of whatever they were doing in the bank, I was quite surprised about the percentage that I understood of what was going on and I even had a few ideas of how the system in question could be improved later on in the future. I would therefore say that I kept on developing these skills and passion for technology during this Spring Week in the bank. However, they only open you the doors of what really goes on behind closed doors, you then are required to learn as much as you can if you want to excell as an intern or any other kind of employee.

It was generally very well structured. I never got bored or with nothing to do. Each hour of this Spring Week was specifically tailored to first and second year students, and we can see that they were very pragmatic about it. They were also always asking for feedback, which is appreciated, since I could really see the inertia they have going of wanting to improve the whole time.

One of the main reasons why I chose Deutsche Bank over other, even bigger banks was the general atmosphere. I did not find anyone who was not willing to help me learn or just was not nice. From my professional expirience, this atmosphere was like no other I have worked in. Totally recommended.

I found very intriguing how much money, resources, personnel and time were devoted to us. Not only throughout the week, but also during the assessments and phone calls. At the end, it is very interesting how much they invest in future talent at such an early stage in our education.

It was absolutely helpful. As a student, I often have to deal with the fact that I lack a lot of professional expirience to answer many of the questions that I ask myself for my future. This is why Spring Week is excellent at showing how much work and time I will have to put in, how my relationship with the bank and its employees may look like and whether I could find my happiness in that place. Fortunatedly, all those questions were answered with positives answers.

As I have previously mentioned, the Spring Insight Week into Technology was very helpful in understading the culture and the inner workings of Deutsche Bank. I got the chace to talk to a lot of representatives and VPs in the bank, as well as desk shadowing and presentations. Overall, it was excellent the learn the company culture and values.

Very helpful. After talking to recent Graduates, Analysts, Associates, Vice-Presidents and even MDs, I have a very clear idea in my head what it means to be at each stage of the career path. This gave me a very broad perspective of what my future could look like, and it was something that I am really looking fowards to.

Absolutely. One of the event that I enjoyed the most was the networking event during our second day in the bank. We got to talk about several people from different departements within not only technology, but also CIB and more. They were very happy and supportive when talking to me at the same time.

Yes. Specifically two. I saw first hand how they were able to participate in different volunteering opportunities closeby. Also, I found out that, were they to have a sport hobby for example, they were able to create social and friedly games against other divisions and departements. This, I found extremely useful and handy, since it is a perfect way of getting to know better your colleagues while staying healthy at the same time.

Absolutely. This is a very recommended experience to anyone seeking how the life of an engineer (in my experience) could be in a bank, specially in areas like technology and finance. This insigh week does not only give you the obvious 'insight' into the inner workings of the company, but it also gives you a start in your networking career.
