The Role
Really enjoyed it despite being virtual in the end. Campus team made a real effort to put in all the events possible, and all worked pretty smoothly
There's a great culture at AMEX everyone is supportive and inclusive
My line manager was particularly helpful and set up regular meetings to make sure I got the appropriate level of support
Fairly busy, not overwhelmed
A lot. I had 2 projects running, one was slightly more practical so I could experience the software, the other strategic. A good balance over the 6 weeks
My degree is completely different to this internship, but I now have a good idea of what to expect from a marketing career and good content for future interviews
The Company
Virtually - very positive, friendly even relaxed.
Very well organized - easy to navigate meetings through online calendars and scheduling assistant that makes the day run efficiently
To a great extent - they seem to value each employee, from intern upwards. The culture at Amex revolves around similar values I hold
Financial Bonus
Working from home
Very - a lot of room for career progression and movement across business units and across countries. This is encouraging as it means that you don't have to be stuck at any point, there's always a goal to progress to
The Culture
Yes - we organized our own virtual catch ups. Unfortunately in person meet ups were not possible, which is a shame and would really add to the experience
No cost - kind of a perk due to virtual circumstances
N/a - work from home
