Actuarial Private Intern Review

As a summer student, I supported a range of pensions and consulting projects while learning about the industry. My day-today work involves analysing data, carrying out research, preparing presentations and reports. I also worked closely with colleagues on technical and business focused tasks, attend meetings and contribute to team projects and wider company initiatives. As part of the internship, we also got to take part in an intern charity challenge to raise money for two great causes which was very fun!

Yes, I was given responsibility during my internship, however, the team were extremely supportive throughout and made sure work was assigned at an appropriate level for my experience. There was no expectation that I would have prior knowledge of pensions, consulting or the software used. Everyone at Hymans was always willing to answer any questions I had and were super friendly.

Yes, throughout the internship I have developed my presentation skills, teamwork skills, attention to detail and my overall professional confidence.

I received lots of support throughout my internship. Before I started my internship i had multiple buddy calls with a current graduate who would answer all my questions and prepare me to start the internship. After starting, my buddy and everyone at Hymans were always willing to help me and encouraged throughout my 8 weeks.

The company culture is very welcoming, supportive and collaborative. From the beginning of my internship, I felt comfortable asking questions and seeking help whenever I needed it. Everyone is super approachable which has created a very positive office environment.

I thoroughly enjoyed my placement and found it a really valuable experience. I would recommend anyone considering the internship programme with Hymans Robertson to apply! The supportive and friendly culture makes it a great place for a student to learn and gain experience.
