Intern Analyst Review

I work within the corporate banking group EMEA. This involves primarily updating and creating credit reviews and annual reports for EMEA-based clients. This relates to analyzing companies' creditworthiness through their financial statements and yearly outlooks. Moreover, updating capital allocation memos to approve the renewal of credit lines or to increase commitment to certain companies. The credit lines are either RCFs or term loans.

I have learned a mix of both soft and hard skills throughout my experience at Wells Fargo. The structured training set up the HR department allowed me to refine my networking and communication skills by setting up many events with senior executives and help us how to optimally brand ourselves in a work environment. On the technical side, I learnt about the operations of corporate banking, i.e., the process of financing corporations.

I was given a good amount of responsibility. It took form in actively assisting in live deals with the deal teams. I was able to be assigned a good portion of the credit documents and work on them independently. While I would have enjoyed more responsibility, the given time frame restrained me to only a limited amount of responsibility.

I felt like I always had support and guidance throughout the internship. There were very little moments in which I felt lost as the program was well structured and my team were able to give me meaningful tasks, which they constantly supported me on.

The company culture was very welcoming and inviting. From the day that I arrived, I always felt comfortable. Despite it being so welcoming, there is also a sense of drive. Everyone seems very passionate about their roles, and they are driven to improve the company and make a meaningful impact in the banking industry.

I fully enjoyed my experience and would recommend it to anyone who is trying to get exposure to the banking industry. I felt that the internship provided all the resources to be successful in this field and gave many opportunities to expand and grow your network to continue these relationships after the completion of the internship. I found that my team, as well as the other interns were very enjoyable to work with.

Yes

My advice would be threefold. Network, be proactive, and ask questions. Doing this you will find yourself in a great position and you will have branded yourself well and put yourself in a great position to build a future within this bank.
