Data Analyst - Summer intern Review

On a day-to-day basis, I was given a business project to work on with other interns.
I also had a charity project to work on with a team to raise money for a partnered charity.
Finally, I had two placement days during which I shadowed colleagues and worked on a project I then presented.

I was able to work on a real ongoing project. All of my analysis being presented to my stakeholders, they will be able to integrate it to their own work. Consequently, I did have some responsibility even though the quality of my work was reviewed to ensure it was good.

I have developed hard skills like the use of Tableau and SQL. I have also developed soft skills like presentation and communication skills.

I had a buddy who gave me biweekly guidance. I could talk and reflect on my learning. Additionally, I had a supportive line manager who I met regularly and who guided me through my work. Finally, all of my colleagues were always open to questions and ready to meet to help.

There is a generally very friendly atmosphere. Employees are really pushed to undergo self-led learning. There is also a large emphasis on sustainability and diversity.
Finally, there are many opportunities to volunteer for charities or to organize and participate social events.
Overall, I would encourage anyone to join our company.

I really enjoyed the work that I did. Moreover, I was given many opportunities to learn about the bank and the different teams. The experience exceeded my expectations.
Having many projects to work on with interns, I also felt part of the intern cohort and I had many chances to develop the skills I wanted.
I would definitely come back.
