"Big energy player, learned a ton and hungout in DC" Position: Financial Planning & Analysis Intern Location: Arlington, VA Pay: $$18/hour Duration: 12 weeks Review posted on 4/18/2011

I gained real world experience: 1 2 3 4 5 Agree My boss treated me with respect: 1 2 3 4 5 Agree I enjoyed my fellow co-workers: 1 2 3 4 5 Agree The work I performed was interesting: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree I feel better positioned to gain a fulltime job: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree Overall, I was satisfied with my internship: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree

Pros: - Good pay. - Loved being close to DC. - AES puts you on a project with team members. I was on an audit analysis of one of our plants. Oh also got to work a little bit with the forecasting team which was cool. Learned a ton about the energy industry in general (which is hot right now). Cons: Workflow was a pain some times - really busy some days and bored some others. But, not too bad. Advice for other students: Great company, loved AES. If you get an offer, take it. Live in Glover Park, but commute was pretty long.

"Loved my boss and enjoyed AES" Position: Risk Management Intern Location: Arlington, VA Pay: $$18.75/hour Duration: 12 weeks Review posted on 4/18/2011

I gained real world experience: 1 2 3 4 5 Neutral "OK" My boss treated me with respect: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree I enjoyed my fellow co-workers: 1 2 3 4 5 Agree The work I performed was interesting: 1 2 3 4 5 Agree I feel better positioned to gain a fulltime job: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree Overall, I was satisfied with my internship: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree

Pros: - Boss was great, taught me the principles of risk management. I'm a finance major, so I had no real background in risk management and didn't even really understand the profession. But, my boss showed me the ropes and took the time to care. Cons: None. Advice for other students: I applied online. Also, network with managers while you are there.
