    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • My role is with the process experience team which handles BPMN from teams all over the firm. I participate in daily standups and onboarding meetings. I created a dashboard for the team to track their progress on handling client requests.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • Yes, this role is more like a business analyst using some programming languages. I have also gained soft skills like communication and networking skills. My business analytical skills have also improved from understanding different clients' requests.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • It's adequate amount, I do not have to participate in all of the daily tasks that the team has to do and my manager gives me quite a lot of autonomy in exploring and understanding the culture and the operation of the firm.


  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
  • 5/5

    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
  • I would say a lot, I reach out to my manager and an analyst of my team if I come across a problem, if they couldn't solve it, we raise the question to the entire team before reaching to other relevant teams for help. My manager also scheduled weekly catchups to review my progress.

  • How would you rate the support and guidance from the wider team?

    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
  • Very friendly, they encourage interns to do catchups with basically everyone in the firm. People are very nice to make time to interact with us and give us a lot of career advice and business insights. I also have good work life balance during the internship.

    Your Impressions

  • Very much, except that I didn't get assigned to the team that I applied to and interviewed with and only got noticed 2 weeks before the internship. But the team that I interned with is very friendly and supportive.
