Why did you choose Fidelity? Fidelity is a premier financial services company. I knew I would be getting a top-notch internship and would be exposed to the vast set of resources which Fidelity offers not only its customers, but its employees.Ā
What surprised you the most about Fidelity as a company? I was surprised by how dedicated Fidelity was to putting the customer first. No matter how far your personal work was from the customer, it was always central in our minds and our overall goals. I was also surprised by simply how much Fidelity does as a company.Ā
What did you learn during your internship with us? I learned a vast amount of information related to the credit space and the payments industry, in addition to learning more about what Fidelity does as a company.
