Real Work Experience: From day one, you will be fully immersed in a business area that will rely on you as a productive member of the team. You will receive challenging assignments, with an analyst overseeing your work. You will receive ongoing feedback as well as a formal evaluation at the end of your internship.

Personal and Professional Development: We want you to learn and grow during your time at Standard & Poor’s. This means being exposed to all areas of our business, industry, culture, and the company as a whole. We also want to ensure you use this time to hone your individual skill set, particularly in the areas of problem-solving, communication and technical skills. We¡¦ll provide learning opportunities during the internship, in addition to the ones that will present themselves daily through your supervisors.

Opportunity to Build Relationships: When you join Standard & Poor¡¦s for the internship, you become one of us.
