SSGA Internship and interview experiences

Hey everyone,

I've done some digging in the archives, and I haven't been able to find too much on State Street Global Advisors internships/interview process. Soo I was wondering if anyone here can lend some insight into their experiences at SSGA, and what to expect in a first round phone interview.\

I'd really appreciate any info you guys can give on firm culture, investment management interviews in general, etc.

Hey, I'm interning at there now. It depends on what department you're interviewing for. The firm has a very personable culture, so make sure to have a conversation with your interviewer (that's at least what I did). It's been a pretty great experience so far. There's a lot of flexibility in what you can do as long as you ask around. Generally managers will approach you with interesting research projects to work on, but you're also going to have to do a lot of typical intern tasks.

 

In terms of reputation, I believe it is good, as it is one of the largest AM firms. I am also applying for the summer internship so please keep updating this post so we know (there is not much on SSgA). Also, did you apply online or through your school?
