9. Last summer I was a summer intern at Achmea Bank.
“My internship assignment consisted of two different parts,
providing me with the insights of different angles of doing a
benchmark analysis. The analyses were challenging, interesting
and gave a good view of a possible assignment one can get in a
future job. All my questions were quickly and well answered by
colleagues, who were helpful and always in for a chat. My
mentor was enthusiastic about having an intern and really into
learning me stuff. All in all, I had a great time and learnt a lot.
Achmea Bank is a great place to do an internship if you ask me!”
