Overview
worked on a group project where we implemented a hedging strategy for commodities futures (Strategies) and developed risk management software in Python and Jupyter Notebook. we also had the opportunity to attend numerous presentation and events discussing the firm's roles, opportunities, and values, as well as numerous workshops with the intent on helping individual development
Skills
we were encouraged to develop our technical skills within engineering, computing, and development as well as our soft skills within presenting, communicating, and leadership.
Business Insight
different aspects of the business were discussed in detail including their goals and future prospects, however, some aspects such as roles and projects within the software and cybersecurity sectors didn't get as much attention and were left rather vague in comparison
Culture
the company culture had a very professional, cut, and dry atmosphere where people were continuously being challenged and their skills continuously developing. within the teams, you are able to see the individual enthusiasm and a more friendly atmosphere. however, at times people did seem to be holding back criticism towards the company
Your Impressions
It was very enjoyable, especially since we were constantly being challenged which kept us attentive
Yes
even if your not sure whether or not you'll enjoy working within this field, it's a great opportunity to learn, develop and come to that conclusion. there's no harm in giving it a chance
