Finance and Strategy Intern
June - September 2017 • Thousand Oaks, CA
What I liked
Program was set up great, the company has an amazing and comfortable culture - very supportive. The internship was set up to where you are developing a project that is actually useful.
What I wish was different
Your experience is heavily due to the manager you are assigned to and a lot of the projects aren't comparable in difficulty and complexity, as well as some projects were not finance related at all.
Advice
Network as much as possible and get ahead on your project.

My primary project was not very technically challenging, and it was a lot of busy work.
Advice
Leverage the network during your time there!
