At the beginning of the summer interns will be assigned a project that tackles a real problem the team needs solved. Interns will complete ad-hoc projects with various other teams in their departments and more broadly across the firm. At the end of the summer interns will present their projects and lessons learned to their peers mentors and senior leaders.
