Wells Fargo

Systems Support Analyst

January - July 2019 • Philadelphia, PA

What I liked

I liked gaining the experience of learning about a job field in Information Technology and being able to work with a team of people who specialize in database systems.

What I wish was different

The work or lack thereof I should say. The quality of the work was good but the frequency of obtaining work was not always given. I would have liked to receive more tasks and would have liked to have done a lot more.

Advice

Well for me, it made me realize that IT wasn’t really for me. I found no interest in it and working with systems wasn’t something I wanted to do as my career. So I guess my piece of advice would be to make sure that you know what you really want and what career choice you want to pursue.

What I liked

Everyone was incredibly welcoming. People are happy to help and want you to succeed. There was a lot of freedom to go and learn what you wanted to.

What I wish was different

Take the initiative for your own success. Ask people how you can help and work on building your network.

Sales and Trading Intern

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

The people were great and the program was set up in a way that you were very hands-on for a sales and trading role. There were also many opportunities to network with people around the firm and get exposure to any group that you were interested in. As a rotational program, they also take into consideration what desks you prefer and where they think you will excel, making the process in general very smooth and allows you to stay interested in what you were doing.

What I wish was different

Nothing. Overall, a great experience.

Advice

Make sure that you are proactive in networking and building your network both before, during and after the internship.

Analyst

June - August 2018 • Charlotte, NC

What I liked

My summer experience was incredibly challenging and rewarding. I worked incredibly long hours, but I learned so much the 2.5 months I was at Wells. Everyone in my group was excited to teach me new things about the industry and the technology involved in my job. Although I did not have much of a life beyond work, I loved my summer experience.

What I wish was different

I wish I had a better idea of what long hours would feel like– it took a solid month before I got into the swing of balancing life chores with work. Other than that, I would not change anything. The firm and location were great.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions, reach out for help, and take chances. The best way to learn is by doing, and you must remember that growth happens when mistakes are made!

Consumer, Healthcare and Gaming Investment Banking Summer Analyst

June - August 2017 • Charlotte, NC

What I liked

I loved the people. I enjoyed working with my coworkers and the other summer analysts. I liked the summer program itself. It starts with a one week training program, and then you have nine weeks with your specific team. Throughout the summer they had a couple events within my team and within the intern class to get to know people around the bank.

What I wish was different

Nothing! I enjoyed the entire program and I learned a lot!

Advice

Get to know the other summer analysts! They are there for support and also to have fun! It's a great way to start to build your network of friends and coworkers.

Summer Analyst

June - August 2020 • Charlotte, NC

What I liked

I loved learning from bright and driven individuals. Wells Fargo and my coverage group in particular (Power, Utilities, and Renewables) pushed me to further my understanding of complex financial concepts. I also gained valuable exposure to Excel modeling and PowerPoint slide decks.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have experienced the office in-person, but Wells Fargo did a great job with the virtual experience!

Advice

Like anything, you get out what you put in. If you are fortunate enough to land any internship, commit yourself to learning and developing as a young professional.

Enterprise Risk Intern

June - August 2020 • Charlotte, NC

What I liked

I enjoyed how I was working on projects that I would have never learned in school.

What I wish was different

I wish I was able to explore more branches in the bank.

Advice

One piece of advice I would share is to always get the most out of the experience. For example, I was in the enterprise department but I made sure to reach out to lawyers who worked for Wells Fargo because I know that I wish to attend law school in the future. So networking with others is important because people want to help.
