Everyone was extremely nice and the mentoring was top-notch! Would definitely recommend as an employer for interns- they really care.
What I wish was different
If you're placed in the Toronto office you'll definitely have a LOT of other interns to network with at events downtown either paid for by BMO or on your own time. Wished interns at other offices in the East Coast and in the prairies could join.
Advice
Going into an internship for the first time, you really are unaware of how much you do not know. Be open and always ask others for tips to make the most out of your time.

What I liked
The BMO atmosphere is welcoming and supportive in all areas of the bank. I enjoyed the campus recruitment events which helped expand my networking skills and give me an opportunity to meet other interns throughout the various departments.

Advice
As a virtual internship, this experience taught me alot about time management and individual goals. I was directly responsible for my schedule and how I completed my tasks. In that sense, it was still required to follow a 8-5 work schedule.

Being able to develop my sales skills in talking with customers and using instructive questioning to find them new and better products. Also the team I work with makes the job a lot of fun and les stressful
What I wish was different
Nothing
Advice
Always keep your personal life separate from work. Work stress should never meld with your day to day life. If you bring home the work stress it’s only going to make things worse.

Mid-Corporate Intern
June - August 2018 • Chicago, IL
What I liked
The internship starts will training on the systems you will use throughout the summer, which was really helpful. There were a ton of networking opportunities. We were given the option to interview for full time while still interning.
What I wish was different
I wish my time there had been longer.
Advice
My piece of advice is to meet as many people as possible across the bank. People love to share their experiences and help you achieve your goals.
