The Role
It was an excellent experience and extremely stimulating.
People here are really aiming to get the best out of you and when you show that they are highly rewarding.
There are a lot of people always available to provide you support and guidance throughout the entire summer.
It depends a lot on how much deal flow there is.
I was there just for some weeks and I was already preparing documents for client meetings or producing database that were used by the entire team.
Having a quantitative background helped me a lot to get to the team I wanted due to its more technical side, but there is a lot of other team that does not require it.
The Company
There was a great diversity within the team, with people coming from different countries, speaking different languages and with completely different personalities one to each other.
It was good, but I would suggest to make the team more aware of all the internship events going on so that they can better manage the workload to assign to you.
The team I was working with spent a lot of time teaching and showing how to appropriately manage certain tasks.
