Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Marine reinsurance analyst- involves working on benchmarking tools, inflation index, triangles, frequency severity analysis, pricing curves on Microsoft excel and learning about reinsurance contracts and marine lines of business along with the coverage under each.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
i was able to get involved with some overall market research that would be distributed to the client and did small tasks that directly assisted with overall client work. we were given access to all drives and were able to go up to people to ask if they needed help. would have liked to also have one major summer project to work on rather than different individual tasks but both are a good learning experience.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
my manager was very supportive and concerned about my learning. i would also say that he was good at explaining things and took time and initiative to broaden my knowledge about the market. he also helped me reach out to the wider aon network and had regular catch ups.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
everyone was very welcoming but i do think each team is very different even though they are all trying to adopt the same values. its easy to talk and ask anybody for help and we had regular socials where we felt welcome. the company is also trying to increase its diversity hires so it may not seem as multicultural in the team but its something that's changing.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Aon to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Aon
i learned about aon through the actuary of the year from target jobs and would recommend applying to that if aon runs it again this year. for the normal internship scheme i would say it doesnt matter what you study theres a lot of people with different backgrounds here and mainly apply focusing on an actuarial but also soft skillset.
