Please describe the interview / hiring process.
The programme is structured as follows:
- 1 week of training
- 5 weeks in the Mergers and Acquisitions Group.
- 4 weeks in the Financing Group
Interns usually do one rotation in a group (Mergers and Acquisitions or Financing), then move to the other. You’ll spend 5 weeks in the first and four weeks in the second. I can’t guarantee that M&A will be where your 5 weeks are spent – this is just an example.
The key strengths of the summer intern programme at Goldman
- Training week: The goal is really to make interns as efficient as possible from Day one.
The lessons are made by experienced bankers on financial modelling, accounting, shortcuts, etc.
- Team presentations: Throughout the summer, interns attend mandatory presentations from almost every team within the Investment Banking Division in order to get to know every available opportunity: Leveraged Finance, Equity Derivatives, Pensions, Equity Capital Markets...
