P&C Summer Intern Review

I was assigned a very demanding project where there were strict deadlines for the work to be delivered and presented to different clients. I had my hands full with this particular project and also I had other intern projects on solvency II and reserving which was tough too but was very interesting.

We had lots of training days organised for us where we sometimes had to go to the Reigate office. People would give presentations on their day to day work and essentially giving us a brief overview of their sector. Training on WTW's specialist software was also given so that was really useful.

I had a really great time on my internship, working in the ICT department. Within the ICT department, I was allocated in the P&C team. Everyone was really helpful and no question was a silly question in everyone's eyes which was really encouraging. The work was very varied and interesting too.

My programme was structured very well indeed. Lots of training days were scheduled and we were given a detailed schedule when we started so that was useful for me to keep the structure. The projects I was assigned was given out in advance of starting so that was useful as opposed to just doing ad hoc tasks.

I received a lot of support from WTW. They gave me my own laptop and any other things that I felt I needed to help me do my tasks that I was allocated. I was assigned a buddy who was extremely useful and lovely. The general attitude to supporting me was very good and I felt really good about that. So I felt that the company culture was welcoming and really cool.

Very adequate.

So I attended a really well structured AGM and an after party which was really nice. There were also qualification drinks for those who had passed their Actuarial exams which were really fun and it felt good that I didn't have to pay for the drinks. There is an events team that organises lots of fun events which I wish I could be apart of.

Yes

I certainly would. To get the internship, apply to them and hopefully they will be able to accommodate you. There was lots of interviews or assessment days. When I was there, I was told that the application process was tough and rigorous and only the very best candidates are selected. They also said it would be helpful if you did a quantitative degree to help with the job so before you choose your degree, bear this in mind.

Prepare lots of competency questions so you can answer them all confidently
