Financial Analyst Review

This internship not only has allowed me to learn about how American Express works but also has helped me to grow as a person and develop my analytical and interpersonal skills.

I have felt that everyone in the company has been very welcoming and supportive. This includes my team, which helped me feeling welcome from the very first day of the internship. But also making friends with the other interns and colleagues has improved an already great experience.

My team and my manager have been very supportive and helpful every time I felt it was necessary. My manager has provided me with guidance at every step during the internship, leaving clear instructions when he was away.

Even though there were weeks that were busier than others due to team deadlines and presentation work, I feel like my workload was distributed in a very balanced manner over the 10 weeks.

My responsibility increased over time. Firstly, I went through a learning phase in which I felt my responsibility in the team was not very high. However, during the second half of the internship and especially when my manager was on PTO, my responsibility increased exponentially and it made me feel motivated and engaged.

First of all, I have developed a new set of analytical skills related to the work I have been doing in my team and project that will definitely contribute to my potential success in my degree. Also, I have acquired a set of interpersonal skills that I believe will help me along my career but also in my personal life.

The atmosphere in the office was great, as it allowed you to concentrate on work when needed, but also giving you the opportunity to meet people with different business responsibilities and backgrounds. Also, the people in the company made me feel comfortable at all times.

The structure of the internship was great and allowed us to learn from other parts of the company, while making it as fun as possible.

The trainings on the first weeks were very helpful to feel engaged from the very beginning although they were not very related to my specific role.

I believe this internship has taught me how this company works and I really feel like I would like to be part of it in the near future, after I graduate. The main things that I like from Amex are the values the company represents and promotes, the working environment, the international opportunities it offers and exposure to senior leaders and mentors.

Thanks to the good relationship that all of the interns had, together with other colleague made of this placement a very fun experience. I am glad to have met people with same interests as me and I really hope I will keep in touch with them in the future and even outside of the company.

Although the cost of living in Central London is very high, the perks that this area offers are incredible in terms of social life and events.

Having lived in London for a few years already, I feel like it is a great city if you enjoy Nightlife, with plenty of different things to offer.

The Campus Team and the company itself organized weekly social events that made of this placement an even funnier experience.
