The Role
Amazing people, challenge everywhere, steep learning curve, ...
Could ask whatever question I had. Got very good and constructive feedback
People where always willing to spend time with me to explain something, or just discuss with a coffee
Very busy in general, but that's what I expected
Had to deliver presentations in front of management, answered questions from clients, prepared marketing material
Multi-tasking, learned to deliver under high pressure, the power of networking, financial skills
The Company
Very good atmosphere on the floor
Tons of HR organized events, partys, afterworks...
Had a 1-week training before the start of the internship.
