Pros
When considering internships in investment banking, I found AGC particularly appealing due to its size and focus on technology. I wanted to work at a firm that could offer me hands-on experience, and was drawn to the array of sectors covered by AGC. Throughout my eight-week internship at AGC, I can affirm that I gained a significantly deeper comprehension of the workings of software investment banking. Their internship program, spanning from classroom sessions to hands-on involvement in live deals and research tasks, equipped me to a level where I could adeptly discuss the projects to which I contributed and actively engage in client discussions by the end of the summer. AGC has a team-oriented culture. The firm consists of motivated, knowledgable individuals that supported me throughout the internship. This support was evident at all levels. Each intern is paired with a Partner for a research project, and an analyst as their mentor for the summer. Both were friendly and integral to my development over the summer. Altogether, the internship was a great experience.
Cons
As is the standard in investment banking, the job can be demanding of long hours. That being said, one is afforded the opportunity to learn a lot and gain valuable experience in the process. AGC is a great place for anyone that is interested in investment banking.
