Application Developer Review

The internship at JP Morgan was wonderful experience. I have never had such experience before. They are investing quite a lot in the interns which is extremely important. Organising different events and trying to make you feel comfortable in the company from the first day. Cannot say anything bad to be honest and I have been thinking a lot about that.

The only reason I did not mark 10("Like Family") is because this is a workplace but not home. I can say that I was really valued by my team. If I was doing well I was always receiving positive feedback which inspired me to work even harder. Some of the e-mails I received from my colleagues were fantastic and actually made me feel like they are my family. They were always pointing out how valuable work I have done during my internship by giving me actual examples how I added value to different applications.

I had amazing manager. Always there for me. Discussing my work, giving me different ideas, proposing me to become more autonomous. When I was asking for growing points the team members were always happy to provide such. I cannot find anything bad about my team.

There were always different tasks for me to do. I was given at least two tasks so I can balance between them and if I am stuck with one I can continue with the other one. I cannot say that being "too busy" is a bad thing. I think that the whole point of the internship is to keep yourself busy and try to learn more. That was my goal at least.

Considering that I was an intern I was given great amount of responsibility by taking full ownership of my tasks which made me feel valuable. I cannot go into more details here.

I have developed in different directions. And every single direction will be extremely useful not only in my studies but later in my life. Technical knowledge, corporate awareness, communication skills, analytical skills.

Considering the fact that I was here to work, I cannot say that the fun never stopped. One can have fun for a short period of time but the general idea is to do your job and that's why I liked it so much. I would not like a place where I have fun but not doing anything. The atmosphere was great; all my colleagues were very friendly and helpful.

I can remember some issues with the technology before presentations but this is absolutely normal. In general, everything was extremely well organised. Basically covered and even exceeded my expectations in some cases.

In general, I can see that JP Morgan is investing a lot in their interns and graduates. There is a compulsory training and a lot of training facilities available to us. However, just for three months we cannot use all of them. The most impressing thing to me were the senior speaker presentations. If I needed anything I was able to get it.

It seems that they are very intereseted to hire us. I know if I have been offered a place next week. You can ask me then!

Yes, we had our Friday lunches together. The grads were organising different events for us. Not everybody was coming but this does not depend on the company. It's the people.

It was fine. I guess in London it would have been different, I was in Glasgow.

I was not really going out a lot. For the rare times I was out everything was fine. I do not really understand this question. My idea was to learn rather than being sleepy at work. When I was out with my colleagues it was fun!

Yes, I even attended some of them. Actually I have very good memories from those activities. Basically the social awareness is very well developed and that gives us the change to join some charity events which is great fun.
