Software Engineer Intern Review

I really enjoyed my summer internship with J.P Morgan. As a software engineer intern I got to work on a variety of projects using different technologies. Socially it was great as well, plenty of opportunities to interact with colleagues and technologists away from the desk. As a Dublin intern it was extra special to be given the opportunity to go to London for two days for our induction. In my opinion J.P really care about your experience and go above and beyond to deliver an enjoyable and meaningful internship.

In J.P Morgan I was given meaningful work that made an impact to my colleagues, as a software engineering intern this was great motivation to deliver work of a high standard. Everybody who I interacted with in the Dublin office were very friendly and helpful. They always have time for us interns and make you feel welcome and apart of the team/ office.

Any issue I had I could ask for assistance from my manager and other team members. I never felt permanently stuck and I learned a lot of new skills from working through issues with my team.

I was fortunate enough to be given multiple projects to work on over the 10 weeks, I always had something to do and keep myself busy and the variety kept the work interesting.

I feel that I was given a lot of responsibility seeing as my main work was on a stand alone project, my manager gave me complete freedom to work on this however I wanted to design-wise which made the work interesting and gave me a great sense of ownership with the project.

I feel this internship lifted my technical and social abilities up to a new level. I gained a lot of important insight on what a job in software engineering will be like and I think I understand concepts of development along with various technologies a lot more practically than I did in college. I think a lot of the skills i developed will aid me in my future studies and career.

The atmosphere in the office was great, everybody was very friendly and I felt welcome.

The internship was well organised and we always had an intern related event on every week to get ourselves time away from the desk.

I feel the firm invested a lot in me. Various workshops and personal trainings allowed me to develop a variety of skills. Going to London was a great experience and really made me feel a part of the firm.

I would happily work full-time with J.P Morgan after doing this internship. From a tech-perspective I would rate them above many technology companies.

Although there was only 3 other interns in Dublin there was great social scene amongst interns, graduates and other colleagues.

Dublin is expensive and a lot of businesses charge quite dearly. I really appreciated the salary which allowed me to not worry about these expenses too much.

Nightlife was great, lots of bars in Dublin and near where J.P Morgan is located.

Yes there many events such as work night outs, running club and various volunteering opportunities.
