Verisk

Legal, Compliance, and Audit Intern

June - August 2022 • Jersey City, NJ

What I liked

I loved my internship at Verisk because I had the opportunity to meet and learn from so many great people. The culture at the company is amazing, and I felt welcome from day one. My favorite parts of the program were the fireside chats with the executive team because they were so approachable and willing to share their knowledge so that we would have the best internship experience possible.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have taken advantage of more of the learning opportunities that the company provided through LinkedIn Learning and other internal sites.

Advice

Be willing to learn and ask questions because everyone wants to make your internship experience a success.

Strategic Innovation Intern

June - August 2022 • Jersey City, NJ

What I liked

My manager and team were very accommodating towards me and always ensured that I had the appropriate amount of time, guidance, and resources to both assist with company initiatives and progress my own personal development.

What I wish was different

I would have enjoyed working on a cross-departmental project or assignment with interns from other areas in the company. As the lone intern on my team, I didn't have many collaboration opportunities with other interns; on the other hand, however, the Intern Experience team did a great job of scheduling in-person networking and casual interaction opportunities for us interns to get to know each other.

Advice

If you intern at Verisk, I strongly urge you to make full use of all the many resources the program offers. Get to know the different applications available to you on Okta. Pick up a skill or two (or five), such as basic coding, advanced PowerPoint practices, or Lean Six Sigma certification—even if your job description doesn’t require it—on LinkedIn Learning or the company’s internal learning modules. Spend as much time with colleagues and other interns when in the office. Participate in fireside chats and networking events. Ask to speak (or even shadow) someone in another department for a day. As such a large, progressive, and inclusive company, Verisk provides you with everything you need to achieve success—now go and get it!

Software Engineering Intern

June - August 2021 • Jersey City, NJ

What I liked

What I wish was different

I wish there had been a better plan for the internship program. It seems like some of the managers thought it would be a good idea to have some interns on the team for the summer, but did not plan what the interns should do. The other software engineers I worked with would try to include me on projects they were doing, but I never really felt like I was working on anything too important. It didn't help that my manager moved me between three different teams to try to give me more experience in different areas. All this did was prevent me from getting deeply involved in a particular project because I knew I would be on a different team in a few weeks.

Human Resources Intern

May - September 2018 • Jersey City, NJ

What I liked

I liked being given projects to handle on my own so that some creativity was allowed in completion of the project.

What I wish was different

I wish I was given more difficult tasks that I could finish over a longer period of time. The projects they gave me were completed much sooner than expected.

Advice

Organization and perseverance are key to any job given to you.
