What do associates want?

Starting as a S&T Summer Analyst at a BB this summer.

As I lack experience and knowledge I would be really grateful if anyone could drop me some game on what my seniors may require from me and how I could possibly prepare.

I am also wondering, if I was to make a market roundup for my desk what would be the most important things to include.

I am also looking into following desks:

Commodities 

Rates

Cash equities 

Derivatives
