Overview
Evenly split between Actuarial and Investment teams.For IC, we normally are drafting paperwork such as quarterly and strategic reports. For AC, we do more calculation work, which either entails calculating transfer values for individuals along with calculating funding levels.
Skills
Excel and computing skills have definitely improved along with drafting reports. Communication and time management skills have also been key as we have quite quick deadlines and turnarounds for certain jobs.
Responsibilities
We were given important tasks to complete that would be seen by the client. All this work is peer-reviewed by at least 2 senior employees. We were also allowed to join client meetings.
Support & Guidance
A lot of support from colleagues ranging from partners down to graduates. There is a very flat structure and evryone is willing to give advice and take time to answer any questions.
Culture
Lots of socials that take place. The offices are all very friendly and welcoming when you visit. During the internship, there were company-wide netball and football tournaments.
Your Impressions
Throughly enjoyed it. It was very easy to be motivated to go to work.
Yes
To think about your career development paths in terms of post university examinations and qualifications.
