What I liked

I liked that we had wonderful mentors and plenty of guidance even though the internship was shortened.

I wish the internship was longer, even though it was virtual.

Nationwide Brokerage Soluions Intern

May 2023 • Columbus, OH

What I liked

The Nationwide culture is truly what everyone says it is. Everyone is very welcoming and eager to provide assistance / field questions when needed.

What I wish was different

The only issue I had was it was a remote internship and would've liked it to be more hybrid. Had the option of coming in if I wanted to, but none of my team was in-office.

Advice

Network, network, network. This is the best opportunity to get yourself in front of as many senior leaders as you can.

Quality Engineer

May - August 2022 • Columbus, OH

What I liked

I enjoyed the interaction with other interns. I also enjoyed the opportunities to interact with employees of nationwide and understand what their roles are in the company. My favorite experience overall was the in-person week. Not only was it fun to spend time with other interns, but I enjoyed being able to physically simulate what it would be like to work a 9-5 in the workplace.

What I wish was different

I wish that we were able to spend half of the summer in-person and the other half virtual, instead of only spending one week out of 12 in-person. It was very fun to interact with interns in-person, I wish we had more time together in Columbus.

Advice

Don't be afraid to speak up, if you need help. Take every opportunity you can and put your best effort forward.

Actuarial Intern

May - August 2021 • Des Moines, IA

What I liked

I really liked how I was able to actively listen and participate in meetings (introducing inters with other interns, team huddles, job shadows, meetings with associates). I improved my technical skills, and the support for my learning was always there; I also gained some useful knowledge on insurance and its resources and products.

What I wish was different

I wish I was assigned a big project at the conclusion of training, as opposed to performing many smaller tasks and having a medium sized project assigned midway.

Advice

It's perfectly fine to work on things slowly, and to focus more on how things work rather than solely making a process work.

Technology Intern

May - August 2023 • Columbus, OH

What I liked

I loved the team that I worked with. Everyone was incredibly kind and supportive, and encouraged me to dig deeper into my learning and reach out for questions. It was fairly easy to network with people in different areas.

What I wish was different

I think it would have been nice to do some sort of rotation, such as working on one project/team/role in one half and one in the other half. Or maybe have more opportunities to shadow people in different roles and get to see what their work was like day-to-day.

Advice

I would advise future interns to not get comfortable in their own work or project, but to branch out and meet as many people as possible, especially since it is mostly a remote experience.
