Hey guys I’ve seen many memes and posts showing gifts that the company is sending as “welcome” (EY apple airpods, customised Patagonia I mean you know, The cliche) and I was wondering if every company (Goldman, citi, baml) was doing it? Is it only for full time hires or also interns (summer internship, off Cycle interns)? Thanks !

Not every firm does it. Depends on the firm and the group. For example, the bank I am an incoming IB SA at hasn't given out anything (other incoming interns in other groups didn't get anything). But the group I will be joining sent out a welcome package.
You couldn’t pay me to wear anything with my banks logo on it. Would rather they just send me the cash instead.
my bank sent me a gallon of KY jelly
damn I picked the wrong bank
Barclays gave us one of those metal water flasks... Cheap ass Euro banks smh
I still use my flask 5 years later after joining, but hey. Should have given airpods to the zoomers, taking notes.
I work in NatRes so I drink out of those plastic cups in the office. Doing my part to marginally increase oil demand by using one plastic cup a day. Lol
For internship got nice pen, umbrella, water flask, and a Moleskine notebook-- all branded. If I'm being honest I hope we get banker bags for FT lol
Free zoom yoga sessions
Jk, I got nothing back in the day
For my IB SA internship, I got a S'well, a Yeti, and small notebook and pen set. For full-time in Asset Management, I got a blanket, a coffee-cup sized Yeti, and a vest. It's a solid set of stuff, but didn't expect to get more from an AM firm than an IB firm.
KPMG gives interns a plastic water bottle, crappy pen and notebook lol would rather they just don’t send anything
BofA gave out a hoodie for Christmas, another one during the summer, and a duffel bag towards the end of the summer
Wells Fargo once gave me a duffel bag just for going to their info session. Ended up puking into it after a bender.
ahah yeh they gave me a hoodie, towel, under armor slides, bag for SA
Wells Fargo gave me a gym bag at an info session. I proceeded to puke in it in my dorm one weekend from drinking too much
What else would you use it for?
