The company culture

Strategic Planning Intern

June - August 2018 • Hartford, CT

What I liked

The culture was amazing. All of the people at Traveler's insurance are so open and willing to help. They also take an interest in your personal well being. They give interns tons of work, so we are getting legitimate real life experience. In addition, you receive most of the benefits of a full-time employee as an intern!

What I wish was different

Because the insurance industry isn't the most appealing, everyone has very little faith that they can recruit talent/ that they are good enough for young people.

Advice

Working at a big company is hard, but they have tons of resources. Take advantage of those resources and take the training courses they offer and utilize the opportunity to build your network.

IT Intern

June - August 2018 • Saint Paul, MN

What I liked

It was interesting learning about corporate culture, and I enjoyed networking with people that worked in different parts of the company. It was a good way to learn about other career opportunities that exist.

What I wish was different

My work was very poorly defined, and my manager was usually not available to help clarify things, so a lot of my time was spent working on things that I later found out would not be used.

Advice

Networking with people who have different jobs than you is not only good for your career, but also lots of fun!

Business Intelligence Risk Control Intern

June - August 2018 • Hartford, CT

What I liked

I loved the company culture; everyone brought themselves to work and I felt I could too! Networking with employees within the company was extremely beneficial and easy to coordinate. I was able to meet many professionals within the company with different backgrounds and exposures to lines of businesses outside of my own, Risk Control. I learned more about which positions within the company would tailor to my interests and skillset through networking. The interns from the Business Intelligence and Geospatial Development Program and all others programs were from all over the country, extremely intelligent, and overall wonderful people to befriend and work with. I loved my experience!

What I wish was different

Hartford, CT was not the most exciting city to live in. Although, I had wonderful roommates from my program at Travelers, and other interns that became great friends of mine lived in the same townhouse community. Living in the same vicinity meant that I always had someone to hang out with after work, or explore the city/state with!

Advice

I would advise anyone working for Travelers and living in Hartford, CT in the Temple Street Apartments to branch out and meet participants from other programs early on in your time there. Every person I met inside and outside of my program turned out to be great friends of mine. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there!
