The Role
Being in NYC definitely helped and meeting people from different cultures/nationalities.
I had projects and objectives to meet. Having deliverables meant I had to feedback to managers and therefore felt valued.
Learning by doing management culture, hands off at times but you would know when it's crunch time.
Mixture. Preparing reports and project updates were the bulk of my time.
People skills more so than technical.
The Company
Being an IB it was quite quiet/corporate but there were fun moments.
I was the first intern so did not have a job spec/role when I started.
Lunch at learns were fantastic and opportunities for online courses.
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
The Culture
We mostly left NJ and went in to NYC.
NYC - awesome.
As many as you were motivated to do.
