Financial Strategic Management and Underwriting Support Intern
May - August 2017 • Princeton, NJ
What I liked
Great internship program. Worked with 30 other interns on multiple projects which included raising money for a local charity and teaching financial literacy to school children. We also had weekly speakers from all different departments who explained the work they did. The main work I did was engaging and enjoyable. I was given real work and was able to share my input at meetings. Also the campus is amazing with great food and a full fitness center. Overall I learned a lot of relevant work experience and made some great friends along the way.
What I wish was different
The first part of the internship was lonely as I knew none of the other interns. Would be nice to have a meetup or social hour at the beginning. Some of the projects to a long time to get moving and didn't feel very fast paced.
Advice
Make the most of the speaker series and network as much as possible during your time at Munich Re.

HR Associate Intern

What I liked
Very friendly and helpful coworkers and manager, relaxed environment, and beautiful campus.
What I wish was different
A lot of the employees are older, so an intern can feel a bit out of place.
Advice
Talk to as many people as you can, and take advantage of learning opportunities.
