Cons

long hours, as an intern you need to do a lot of dirty work (I think it is actually good for personal growth)

Pros

Very nice people, valued interns' contribution and were willing to share their experiences with me. Very open-door policies in place, brought me to most of their daily meetings where I learned a lot about the market and different financial products.

Cons

As an office assistant my job is not very challenging. This was because I worked in a banking branch, not the head office in the city. So the job was mostly administrative support, but I did get valuable experiences on using Excel to sort data or clean data, etc. (However you would have to ask for work and also take the initiative to apply the Excel skills you have, they don't provide Excel training)

Pros

nice people, really learn a lot from the equity research experience and get a taste of domestic investment bank. A large and established firm supported by the government

Cons

not very intensive, the atmosphere is more like SOE and does not push employee enough. Quite different from typical international investment banks.

Pros

I was in the research department and working with the star research team. They were so nice and helpful and I learned a lot.

The interns were not allowed to eat in the company dining room. It was very inconvenient and expensive to eat out at the most expensive area in Shanghai.

Pros

1. Good exposure to macroeconomics research. Was hard for master students, but you can learn a lot in a short time 2. Seniors are very helpful and kind, willing to teach you and guide you. But they expect high-quality works from you 3. Good platform for newbies

Cons

The head of the department just left a couple of days before I joined as an intern
