Tough but worth it - Account Executive Andercore Employee Review

I was hired for the generic operations intern role, after supporting for a few days in accounting (I am doing a Finance Master's and they were doing their end of year closing), I joined the sourcing team. Initially, in a supporting role to the FT employees, then later I was doing the same work and having the same responsibility as the FT employees, I even got a bonus, which was nice and unexpected for an internship. Great manager in the sourcing team, worked with him daily, he was 2 years older than me, but from his experience and skills it felt like he had 12 years of work experience, and the new operations team lead was a former MBB consultant, I got to work on some projects with him. The managing directors both have a lot of experience. One day, the LP of one of the investors gave a speech. I referred a friend from uni, who will start in a few months, and I’ll get a referral fee.

Pizza with the entire team only once a month. Long working hours (similar hours to an investment banking internship I did), but worth it for the learning curve.

Its a great place to learn and grow from day 1 of your job. Each day here is new and different, it could be new challenges, new tasks, new deals. Its challenging at times but also equally rewarding. A good team and a good leader that supports you and takes you along.

Fast paced, not for those who are looking for a 9-5 job.
