Overview
I was mainly involved in creating and updating marketing materials for pitches, e.g. profiles and shorter books. I got exclusively staffed on short-term projects. Other common tasks I had to include updating transaction comparables databases and looking up broker notes for companies the team was following closely.
Skills
I developed my technical skills mainly through my intern project. We had to use different valuation techinques (e.g. DCF, LBO, transaction and trading comps) to evaluate a transaction. The project also helped to develop my research skills when trying to investigate specifics about the companies and markets.
Business Insight
We had multiple presentations on different areas of the banks. The presentations gave you a global picture of how the different teams allow the bank to keep functioning.
Culture
The general atmosphere was great. We had drinks on the terrace every Thursday and the teams try to go out together at least once every week.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed the insight, however I felt that the workload was not managed in the best way. Some interns had too much to do, while others had nothing to do for weeks at a time.
Yes
To really understand the bank, both it's strengths and weaknesses and show that you have done your research during the online application and during the interviews.
