Overview
I was tasked with researching and developing a solution to some inefficiencies in an internal system. Along with this, I was expected to regularly meet with project stakeholders to provide updates and get guidance.
Skills
Yes, I learned new data analysis techniques and deepened my understanding of machine learning. Additionally, I refined my teamwork and communication skills as I was working in a team to complete this project. Overall, I now have a better understanding of how technology is used in the world of finance.
Responsibilities
Yes, I was given a lot of responsibility during the internship. From the beginning, I had the option to choose which project I wanted to take on, from a list, many of which would have a significant impact on the business. And during the project, all the key decisions were made by myself with the support of my team.
Support & Guidance
There was a great deal of support and guidance during the internship. For my project, I had the ability to request help from anyone from my team and I frequently requested help from those in different business areas, all of which were always happy to help. On top of this, I had regular check-ins with my mentor and a member of HR to support with anything not directly related to my work.
Culture
Overall it is a very pleasant environment to work in as you are surrounded by intelligent, friendly people who are always willing to help. There are regular large company events and smaller team-specific events that create a nice atmosphere to be in.
Your Impressions
I thoroughly enjoyed my internship and it exceeded my expectations. I was able to do meaningful work and learn new skills, along with being able to network with the other interns through socials and workshops.
Yes
Along with being an intelligent person, it is important to not neglect soft skills such as good communication and teamwork skills.
