Technology Summer Analyst Review

Worked in the tech department developing code to assist the company. You are given either a major project or a series of minor projects, in addition to a group intern project for the three months of the internship. Presentations are given at the end of both. Working hours were 0900-1730 with a one hour break, working from home one or two days a week. Co-workers were in office frequently giving help when needed.

Hard Skills: - Programming language of the project you are given: options include but are not limited to Python, Java, and PowerShell. - Agile Development Methodology: Varying from Scrum, Kanban, and Scrumban depending on the team - Unit testing, Continuous Integration/ Continuous Deployment, Software Development Lifecycle - Usage of Integrated Development Environments and or Web Development Tools Soft Skills: - Presentation Skills - Communication Skills - Teamwork - Networking

As an intern, your projects do have impact and will be continued to be used and developed upon by others after you leave. With code you have written entering production after having been validated by a code review process and going through the software development life cycle. The presentation of your project will be both to other interns and to people high up in the company including those in the position of managing directors.

You are assigned both a manager and a buddy to help you during your internship and guide you through the onboarding process. In addition, members of your team may also work with you during the internship on your project(s), so plenty of support is given. Other interns will also be able to help you if ask them.

Company culture is exactly as advertised. They are inclusive and friendly, properly committing to their core values. From participating in volunteering events during global volunteering month, to holding events to make people aware of what minorities in the industry such as women in tech can experience and how you can help - the company has an amazing culture and general atmosphere.

It was a great experience. From educating you on the financial industry and departments of the company, hosting socials and seminars, to networking events and parties - it was a fantastic internship.

Read the job description carefully, and know everything you put on your CV. Technical questions can be similar to those you may find on your university exam paper. However, questions are based on the level of education you have told them, so if you don't do a degree relating to tech, they will not expect you to be of the same technical depth as those who are, and this is fine. Try your best.
