During your time here we will be evaluating you for a full-time position on the Analyst Program the following year. We do this through a mid term evaluation and a final term review. Remember that this is a two way process - it is an opportunity for you to evaluate whether this is where you want to take your career as well.You will have the opportunity to work in both product and industry groups with IBD throughout your internship.
