Rating Firm Internship Advice

Im gonna be starting an Internship in one of the 3 big Rating firms this Summer in Frankfurt and I was wondering what general tips yall can give me in order to make a good impression throughout the internship.
Its my second "big" internship in Frankfurt (I previously was at a decent big bank beforehand in the Reporting & Rating Department) and there I got told that I was too often on my mobile phone which is hella embarassing to be told tbh. 

I also have no idea how big of a deal it is to do an internship at the big 3 Rating firms. Is it kinda prestigious? What positions are similar/adjacent to Credit Rating?
