The Role
I really enjoyed my internship with JP Morgan. There were great opportunities to learn and develop my skills. Lots of events were organised for us interns - for example, Corporate Social Responsibility day, Senior Speaker Series and social events - which helped when getting to know other interns and colleagues.
I felt valued by my colleagues. I was in a team of 10 people and got on really well with everyone. Everyone was happy to help with my work as well as sharing what they do. The team gave up 30 minutes of their time to allow me to present my project and were all engaged and asking questions.
I was given great support by my manager. As well as this we all had a 'business liaison' which was a senior member of staff who also provided advice and support.
I had 3 projects to complete over the 10 weeks, and so, was kept busy. However, I was interested in the work, and though challenging, it was really rewarding seeing the outcome of my work.
I was given the responsibility to manage my own projects. This included researching and contacting colleagues including those abroad. However, if ever I needed feedback or help this was easy to source from my team and manager.
My technical skills most definitely improved and will help me in any role in the future. This also helped me to build my CV. The knowledge I have acquired will also help me in my studies in final year.
The Company
The atmosphere in my office was more relaxed than I had expected. Although everyone works hard, there is also time to chat and joke. This made work a more enjoyable place to be.
The program was very well organised. Before the internship began we were contacted with lots of information which helped to put my mind at ease beforehand. During the internship we had lots of events to attend as well as networking opportunities.
There is an online portal which allows any employee including interns to complete a course on almost anything business/tech related. I found this to be a great resource to learn. As well as this all interns had an intensive Excel training course. I also completed Signavio training.
I would love to return to the company for the Grad Program. The rotational program sounds like a great way to experience even more of the company.
The Culture
Yes, we all got along well and saw each other outside of work. There are 80 interns so you're bound to make friends!
The cost of living was above average.
The nightlife was great!
Yes, there are business resource groups such as for Pride or Women on The Move. As well as this there are sports teams and sporting events. I took part in a rowing competition for charity.
