What our interns say
-
“...the good points about an internship at FINMA are:
Working both independently and in a team, so you can benefit from the advantages of a mid-sized “company” (organisation, transfer of knowledge, availability of specialists, logistics, etc.), the friendly working atmosphere and the flexible working arrangements.
The variety of the work, because different divisions work together; being involved in important decisions and projects, and the multicultural/multilingual environment make the work exciting.”
