Featured Review

Former Intern - Risk Advisory

I worked at KPMG for less than a year

Pros

Great networking opportunities, solid pay, innovative virtual experience

Cons

Would of like to work on client project but totally understand why we couldn't as a result of the pandemic.

Advice to Management

keep up the good work.

Current Intern - Actuarial Intern

I have been working at Mercer for less than a year

Pros

I interned in the health line of business. Would highly recommend; internship was educational, fun, and highly rewarding. I was able to do the work of a full time analyst, see projects through from... beginning to end, and send decks that I'd assembled directly to clients.

Cons

Working in employee benefits means less exposure to broader actuarial functions.
