Spring Intern Review

I wholeheartedly enjoyed the insight programme. It provided the perfect opportunity to meet and interact with employees of BAML and also fellow students. The week was very engaging and interactive which was very beneficial. The line of business days were particularly enjoyable and insightful. I definitely benefited from the insight.

I found that all those within Bank of America Merrill Lynch are very open and willing to answer any questions you may have. This made the experience very positive and showed that employees were interested in engaging with us students.

There was always a member of the junior talent team on hand should we have any concerns. Knowing who to contact was very helpful.

I have gained many skills from the week that I will take with me in my studies and also life beyond my degree. The insight week allowed me to develop my time work and presentation skills in a very engaging and challenging environment. I gained confidence in these areas which will greatly aid me in the future. Also, the information we received was of very high quality and gave a really thorough understanding of what each division does within the bank.

The insight was extremely well structured. There was never a dull moment and I was constantly engaged. I enjoyed the first day as it allowed us to get to know other students and build relationships in an enjoyable atmosphere. I particularly liked the structure the line of business days took. It followed an approachable pattern whereby we were given a description of the division the morning to develop our understanding. This was then applied in an interactive case study which really brought the work to life and then work shadowing. This structure facilitated a natural progression and maximised my ability to learn and engage.

The atmosphere was very energetic and positive. Both other spring interns and BAML employees were all very friendly and willing to engage and talk with you. This allowed a very open and interactive atmosphere to foster.

There was a great emphasis on personal development and learning throughout the week. The various skills sessions aided our learning as did the challenge and team work. The line of business days were particularly good at giving us a more technical understanding of the company.

I was reimbursed travel and provided accommodation for the week.
