Infrastructure Engineer Intern

Good team, friendly manager and coworkers, meaningful project and I learned a good amount.
What I wish was different
Could have been challenged more, lots of red tape and sometimes less communication with my manager than I would have liked (as he was very busy).

Be a go getter, don't wait for opportunity to come with you. Step up and take the initiative to go above and beyond your project/assignment.

Financial Analyst Intern
June - August 2023 • New York City, NY
What I liked
The people, the access to financial resources, and the endless networking opportunities. Everyone was very approachable and treated each other with respect.
What I wish was different
I wish I received more information about my role prior to starting and wish the job options once in the program were not limited to our current line of business.
Advice
It may be nerve-racking in the beginning and you may feel like you don't know anything, but everyone else is feeling this way. The people at your work who care about your success will guide you with the right resources and industry knowledge.

Business Analyst Intern
June - August 2023 • Pittsburgh, PA
What I liked
I loved the genuine connection I felt with the community at BNY Mellon and furthermore within my subgroup of the Engineering department. This wasn't the kind of internship where you fetch coffee and twiddle your thumbs-- they trusted me with real impactful projects. Some examples of the work I did include comprising Power BI Dashboards to foster a culture of reuse in the bank, and additionally completing research to fuel the decisions of technology to be implemented into the workplace come 2024. I presented these works to Level 3 managers across the globe.
What I wish was different
I wish I was able to continue on a part-time basis during the school year-- but otherwise, the program was put together with great detail and I was very happy.
Advice
Meet as many people as possible! It will happen naturally with some employees, but also mix in coffee chats that are outside of your comfort zone. Be the first to reach out and be proud of your work-- tell them about what you've done so far and ask to take more on. You never know who could be an advocate or mentor for you in the future.
