Payment's Internship Review

My role was very varied as I did a mix of internal presentations to my team and wider team. Additionally I was able to use my excel skills in some analysis I was assigned, which I really enjoyed. As I had capacity during my work weeks, I would make the most of the internship opportunity by networking within areas I was interested in. Equally I would network to understand different business functions better and thus I met a variety of people. Overall I really enjoyed the internship!

I would say I have learnt a lot from the internship and developed many skills. Starting with Excel, I was able to build on previous skills and apply my knowledge to specific tasks assigned which I really enjoyed. Some tasks may be challenging but for myself I was able to develop on my confidence and presenting abilities. Both of which I think I struggled with before this internship, so I feel I have definitely progressed and come out of my comfort zone because of this internship.

I would say definitely. I think if you ask for more work you're given it and I really appreciate that, as I enjoy keeping busy. Even when I didn't have too much work responsibility I still got involved in other things such as virtual volunteering. In my opinion the internship provides you with everything you need and its what you do with your time that makes your experience special. So, if you put commitment into achieving a specific goal you can definitely reach it.

My manager was super supportive and guided me a lot in the internship. Equally the network I developed with the other Payments interns was really good as we all helped each other out. As an intern you are also given a Mentor and a Buddy, both of which I found very useful. This is because they have normally gone through the same processes as you- starting out in the bank as an intern for example.

JP Morgan has a very 'Helpful' orientated company culture. Everyone's always so happy to help and guide you as well as provide insights into their roles. Regardless of how senior someone is I have found people always try to make time for you at least. I have felt very supported by my network and peers. Even when networking with wider teams I felt the same way as everyone is so open to answering questions and giving you the best insight and advice which I really appreciated.

I would say I really enjoyed my internship. I gained so many skills and I had such a supportive and encouraging network of friends and mentors that really helped me gain the most from the experience. From the CSR day, to my day to day working responsibilities I enjoyed it all! JP Morgan is definitely a place I would like to work for in the future. The company culture promotes inclusivity and diversity which I appreciate.
