Unicredit Group

Hi Kimi,

UniCredit's recruiting seems rather untraditional indeed.

One thing I thought of about their recruiting is that perhaps they were on the move rather late for interns and want to simplify the process. I don't know when they opened for applications, but on this active financial recruiting site they uploaded their recruiting post 8th of May which is ridic.

As you can see from their website:

You are about to begin the UniCredit Summer Internship Program, consisting of three stages: an on-line application (web based questionnaire and curriculum vitae submission), a telephone orientation interview and finally an interview with a business line manager.

(Does this mean you can still apply?)

I bet you're fine in terms of the process.

UniCredit would most likely not be the first option for top b-school students in EU, perhaps they have lower standards and tend to skip most of the technical/fit questions.

Seems the positions aren't still open

Internship doing what? They're a bit of a small fry as far as advisory in London goes. Thanks to mergers, they've been growing steadily, but they're not a major name in the IB world outside of Italy.

The internship is actually on the FX Trading desk. I know this is Ibanking forum, but I wanted some responses quicker than the trading forum.

Any idea how FX is there?

I think it is a very good op for me as I am starting a two year grad program and this is not my penultimate year, so to get a FO FX Trading desk offer seemed really good considering ill have another summer for interning.

Thoughts?

bump.

Sorry guys this is important.

You're going to be interning at a well-known bank on what should be a busy desk - definitely take it.

Oh I have already accepted it, i did on the spot.

I was just hoping to learn a little more on how the bank is perceived bc it seems like a rather new operation london as well as the fact that unicredit seems to have been born of a series of M&A's. It kinda of feels like BAML in that regard.

It's a great opportunity considering you still have another shot at an internship next year. I doubt you'd have much trouble leveraging that into a summer in FX at a bigger player next year.

Nice office. OK name. Many guys in markets have BB background. Not bad for the first step.

That is what I thought- good opp considering I'll have another summer.

I think if I do a good job i might come out of the summer with an internship offer for the following summer with Unicredit and have that as a backup as I try to leverage my experience into a BB.

bringing this back from the dead. I was offered a 6-month internship from UniCredit in Munich, but in LBO's. Any opinions? Is this a good opportunity considering this is my last summer before graduating, as I am coming from a Non-target?
