Verisk

Data Science Intern

June - August 2023 • Lexington, MA

What I liked

My summer internship in The Advanced Science and Technology Division of Verisk - Atmospheric and Environmental Research (AER) has been nothing short of an amazing, memorable and an enriching experience. Contributing to the projects under the guidance and mentorship of experienced individuals and colleagues has surely shaped an exponential curve on my knowledge and learning throughout the internship program. I am deeply appreciative of this amazing internship opportunity at Verisk.

Advice

Be inquisitive and keep asking questions. No questions are dumb questions, so ask for help whenever you are stuck. That helps in making steady and consistent progress in work. Colleagues at Verisk are very approachable and will surely give you their time if you ask for it. Making full use of the networking events to grow your personal brand is surely a great idea. The internship program is a perfect blend of innovative projects and fun time, so make sure that you make full use of it.

QA Intern

June - August 2023 • Jersey City, NJ

What I liked

The culture at Verisk is incredible. Every person I've interacted with is so friendly and willing to help an intern out. Working hybrid was also a fun, interesting experience. Being able to balance fun days in the office networking with other interns and coworkers with heads-down days at home made it easier to balance the fun and the work of my experience. The company also made me feel really welcome and valued in my project. Instead of having an intern specific project, I worked directly with my team consistently, helping them take care of pending work as if I was a full-time employee. I could see the impact I was having and really got to experience what it's like working full time.

Advice

Put yourself out there! Ask questions, talk to people, and contribute whatever you can. The time goes by so quickly so don't wait until the right moment to make yourself known. It makes the experience so much more fun and exciting, and leaves an impression on those around you (which can come in handy in the future).

Legal, Compliance, and Audit Intern

June - August 2022 • Jersey City, NJ

What I liked

I loved my internship at Verisk because I had the opportunity to meet and learn from so many great people. The culture at the company is amazing, and I felt welcome from day one. My favorite parts of the program were the fireside chats with the executive team because they were so approachable and willing to share their knowledge so that we would have the best internship experience possible.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have taken advantage of more of the learning opportunities that the company provided through LinkedIn Learning and other internal sites.

Advice

Be willing to learn and ask questions because everyone wants to make your internship experience a success.

Strategic Innovation Intern

June - August 2022 • Jersey City, NJ

What I liked

My manager and team were very accommodating towards me and always ensured that I had the appropriate amount of time, guidance, and resources to both assist with company initiatives and progress my own personal development.

What I wish was different

I would have enjoyed working on a cross-departmental project or assignment with interns from other areas in the company. As the lone intern on my team, I didn't have many collaboration opportunities with other interns; on the other hand, however, the Intern Experience team did a great job of scheduling in-person networking and casual interaction opportunities for us interns to get to know each other.

Advice

If you intern at Verisk, I strongly urge you to make full use of all the many resources the program offers. Get to know the different applications available to you on Okta. Pick up a skill or two (or five), such as basic coding, advanced PowerPoint practices, or Lean Six Sigma certification—even if your job description doesn’t require it—on LinkedIn Learning or the company’s internal learning modules. Spend as much time with colleagues and other interns when in the office. Participate in fireside chats and networking events. Ask to speak (or even shadow) someone in another department for a day. As such a large, progressive, and inclusive company, Verisk provides you with everything you need to achieve success—now go and get it!

Human Resources Intern

May - September 2018 • Jersey City, NJ

What I liked

I liked being given projects to handle on my own so that some creativity was allowed in completion of the project.

What I wish was different

I wish I was given more difficult tasks that I could finish over a longer period of time. The projects they gave me were completed much sooner than expected.
