Intern

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

It was a great insight into an often-overlooked industry. The ability to speak with high ranking executives and pick their minds with questions was helpful in me getting a genuine grasp of what the company culture was like and how I would fit in.

What I wish was different

I do wish I was given more tasks to work on during my time at AON.

Advice

It was great and all experiences are welcomed. You can do whatever you put your mind too and people are so willing to help you put your best foot forward.

Health & Benefits Intern

June - August 2019 • Boston, MA

What I liked

The culture was fun and challenging, everyone was very inclusive and engaging. Every day was different and I was always juggling different projects within the healthcare and benefits space. The entire 10-week program led up to a final presentation of my summer project to the whole office which was very rewarding.

What I wish was different

I wish I had the opportunity to explore other divisions of Aon (risk, retirement, cybersecurity) during my time there.

Advice

Come prepared every day to take on whatever type of project is given to you!

Actuarial Consulting Intern

Consulting Analyst Intern

May - August 2018 • Waltham, MA

What I liked

Was given the same work as actual consulting Analysts, working directly on client work. I worked for a small group within Aon called Radford Consulting. Radford is an industry leader in compensations consulting for life science and technology companies. I left this internship with a great idea of what it would be like to work here full time and what it would be like to work full time for a consulting firm in general.

What I wish was different

A more structured “yes” or “no” return offer system. Everything else was great.

Advice

Ask questions when things are confusing on the job. Great way to learn more (and not fall behind) but also to build relationships and show that you are interested in the content of the work.

Summer Cyber Associate

June - August 2020 • Boston, MA

What I liked

I liked the independence we had as interns and how were were given opportunities to shadow on client projects. Also, I liked the opportunities to learn more about cyber security. I attended weekly computer networking classes for continued development.

What I wish was different

I wish it was not virtual, but that was a product of covid and not the company. I also would have liked even more shadowing opportunities.

Advice

My one piece of advice I would share about this experience is to be as outgoing as possible, to that you can network with many different people. You cannot be shy. You have to put yourself out there, because they will see that as passion for the job and will better your chances at a return offer.

Actuarial Intern

June - August 2020 • Bloomington, MN

What I liked

I enjoyed learning about the insurance and financial industries, getting real experience with actual client data, and networking to build my personal network. Having a steady schedule gave me a good taste for when I will have a full-time job after college. I also got to develop my professional communication skills and see how people truly interact in a professional and social way.

What I wish was different

I wish I had the opportunity to be in the office rather than completely virtual at home. I also wish the internship included more programming and unique software so I could expand my skillset and grow my versatility.

Advice

I would recommend to be as flexible and adaptive as possible. Really put in the effort to show what you can do and all of the influences you can have in a workplace. Don't just do what is asked of you, but try to impress your coworkers everyday that you are working.

June - August 2021 • New York City, NY

What I liked

Welcoming environment. Learned a lot and program was great although virtual.

What I wish was different

I wish we were able to go into the office more but with the pandemic, it was obviously out of Aon’s control.

Advice

I would tell others to be vocal about what you like/dislike in your role. I got a return offer from another group that suited me better than the one I interned with.

Middle Market Broking Intern

June - August 2023 • Atlanta, GA

What I liked

Great environment, great teammates, and great opprotunities. I got to experience the broking world firsthand and see how it works. It helped me determine that I wanted to be a broker and that Aon would be a great place to work. Thank you Aon!

What I wish was different

Advice

Reach out to as many people as you can. Everyone is more than happy to sit down and have a conversation. There is a great amount of knowledge that everyone at Aon has and I have never worked at a place that is so open immediately at your arrival. So ask questions and don't be afraid to meet new people!
