Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
In my internship, I helped out with various projects such as benchmarking and checking data, alongside learning about the insurance industry and what Aon does. I also got to develop my skills in the software I was using, some of which was familiar and some of which was completely new. I worked with both other actuaries and brokers to complete projects with and for them. I also completed an internship project as part of a small group of interns.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
After being shown how to do specific tasks, I was mostly left to work independently, with the option of asking for help when I needed it. I was given tasks to complete as part of the team of actuaries, and was trusted to work with them on projects, with my work being peer reviewed when I finished or asked for assistance.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
There were always people I could go to for help, and throughout my internship people were willing to sit down and teach me what I needed to know. I also had catch-ups with my manager and other team members throughout so if I needed additional guidance I was always able to ask for it.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and made a really pleasant environment to work in. I found I got on really well with both other interns and full-time employees. I was also invited to several socials and lunches, which meant I could get to know people outside of work.
