The Role
Very challenging environment and work. I learnt a great deal of different aspects of the job and had the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of my main areas of interest. The environment was encouraging to ask questions and the buddies provided by the firm helped a lot as well.
Especially during my first rotation, I found myself working on very important tasks such as publications and documents for clients and internal use. One of the primer that I prepared was also published on the company platform. Moreover I was also treated with a great deal of respect and professionality.
Especially during my second rotation, I found myself dealing with aspects of the business which I never touched upon. The managers of that team really helped me and explained lots of the different aspects I did not understand. They also introduced me to different representatives of the business so that I could fully understand what their roles were.
I was lucky enough to be given important tasks to deal with, as such I often found myself to have little spare time as I had to continuously work to deliver. Overall I was happy because this fact allowed me to learn a lot and have a clearer understanding on how the day to day job is.
Especially during my first rotation, I found myself working on very important tasks such as publications and documents for clients and internal use. One of the primer that I prepared was also published on the company platform. Therefore I would say that the amount of responsibility was quite high compared to what a normal intern could expect.
