CoBank

Power, Energy, & Utilities Credit Intern

May - August 2019 • Greenwood Village, CO

What I liked

I was able to work on credit reports, an independent project, and a wide variety of tasks in my role. I enjoyed the autonomy and responsibility that I was afforded. My coworkers were very helpful whenever I had a question, and my manager made sure to make time for one-on-ones every week. The PEU team, especially, was a great group of people and hard workers. The work/life balance at CoBank is excellent. You can tell that people are generally happy. It's definitely a different kind of bank- for the better. Also, Denver is a great city with lots to do especially during the summer.

What I wish was different

I wish that I could've sat in on more calls with borrowers, but part of that is a lack of action on my end. Otherwise, everything was really good.

Advice

Talk to people around the office- everyone is very friendly! If you do not come from a rural background, it can be very interesting to hear about others' experiences.

What I liked

I had the most amazing summer at CoBank. I learned so much, got my first taste of Corporate America, gained so much experience through various projects and tasks that have helped me figure out what I want to do in my career. I got to present in front of my mentors, I got to attend meetings, forums, trainings. I met some amazing people and got the opportunity to interact with the CEO, CIO, and CFO. I will be walking away from CoBank with so many wonderful memories and valuable knowledge. I will always remember my CoBank experience as a very special. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of it.

What I wish was different

Overall, I had an amazing experience and would not change anything. However, it would be very cool if we got to sit in on interviews of positions we may apply for in the future or got to be in an interview role play with the Hiring Managers.

Advice

Thank you so much for an incredible summer and I am so thankful to have gotten this opportunity. I will forever remember CoBank and the amazing people I have met here. They have inspired me, supported me, and given me valuable information and knowledge that I will use for the rest of my career. I will really miss CoBank
