You’ll Get Hands-On Experience
Yes, even as an intern. Throughout the OppenheimerFunds internship program, interns work together on a summer project that’s incredibly relevant to the business. One group might research and choose companies to invest in, then pitch their recommendations to the investment team. In the technology department, interns get to pitch an idea for an investment app to the OppenheimerFunds technology team, then work on turning their idea into a real, working app.
Your Hard Work WILL Get Noticed
Everyone wants to see their work make an impact and there’s nothing more frustrating than feeling like “just another employee” (or intern). That’s why the team at OppenheimerFunds makes sure everyone is recognized for their achievements and can see how their work is making the company better. It certainly helps that OppenheimerFunds is a smaller firm, too. Here’s a great example of this approach in action: all interns get to present their final projects to the CTO, and several interns may walk away from that presentation with full-time job offers.
You’ll Have a Strong Support System
OppenheimerFunds has an impressive intern mentorship program that pairs interns with an employee in their department who graduated from college two or three years ago (which means they were also an intern recently). Having a go-to person to share their own career path and answer any questions makes navigating a brand-new internship way more fulfilling. Each mentor goes through a company training program to help them be a great resource throughout the summer. Another great source of support? OppenheimerFunds runs a weekly Senior Leadership Series for interns where ten company leaders (one per week) joins interns at the lunch table to share advice, talk about their jobs and answer questions.
It’s Not All Work
Chances are, you’ll make friends with your fellow interns just by working together on summer projects and being in the office together for 10 weeks. But OppenheimerFunds goes one step further for its interns with a whole suite of summer social activities like basketball games, bowling and happy hours. It’s all in place to help interns increase their networking skills and feel like an integral part of the OppenheimerFunds team.
