Operations Research Analysts

The content of a strategy internship at Siemens will depend greatly on the department. During this internship, I was not involved in the day to day business of the Strategy office in the Distributed Generation department, but was instead conducting a research project independently for that office...

It depends on interviewer. Like I mentioned in the first question, there are different personalities. They might ask basic questions. For example: if you are looking for a software engineering job, they might ask you to send them an algorithm to verify your skills or if you are looking for hardwa...

An Operations Research intern works on projects that aim on improving the performance of an existing operation or build a new optimized solution for that problem.

One should be thorough with java and oops fundamentals. Knowledge in graphs and SQL is plus. Coding questions asked in the interview will be basic, mostly string manipulation.

I liked being a Research and Innovation intern at L'Oreal because I had an exciting and innovative project. Other interns, however, had projects that were poorly planned or unnecessary busy work. Unfortunately, they do not tell you what project you will have until right before the summer, after y...

The program that BAML offers to TCNJ interns is actually fairly unique. During the internship you and your manager will find a process that can be improved, and you will be asked to create a solution for the company to make that process better. You may have other projects on the side, but this on...

For this particular role, you want to highlight your classwork in operations management, statistics, and finance. If you have had exposure to the finance industry, you will want to be ready to talk about that as well. Generally, this program selects analysts with GPAs of above 3.5. The higher you...

Since it's an intensive program with two jam-packed summers, you'll definitely be pretty busy! It's basically an internship with a regular 8-hour day, and some readings, discussions, and seminars during weeknights. However, you don't work Fridays and instead you have seminars during the first sum...

I highly recommend researching what collaborative initiatives NASA is currently pursuing with the educational community. Dr. Carey in USF's Mechanical Engineering department is a great resource on where to look for this information as there is a massive amount of it out there. She is also a great...

My Mechanical Engineering experience at USF was absolutely instrumental in my success at the internship role. The program teaches you valuable foundation skills and thought processes that are paramount to conducting research properly, efficiently, and effectively.

Excellent communication skills, teamwork across time zones, abilities to response/provide solutions in a quick and accurate manner, attention to details, and emotionally stable – you need to work with others and expect the other party does not cooperate and very emotional in some long-lasting and...

The intern program at Nomura is a 10-12 week program where each analyst is placed on a team and learns what that team does and how they operate. The intern learns how to perform many day to day tasks and assists the team with real life work. There is no "busy work" involved with the position and ...

I really liked the ability to dive into the role of what someone working as a sustainability analyst would be doing from day one. I was able to take ownership of my section (carbon emissions) and be the point person in the team when outside partners had questions. There really wasn't anything I d...

Unfortunately, the Investigative Operations Analyst position was dissolved several years ago. Once I leave the Bureau, my position will not be replaced. I would suggest that any interested student check out the positions of Staff Operations Specialist, Investigative Analyst and of course, Speci...

Operations is the engine that underlies every business at JP Morgan and any business in general. It’s really important, and I would say falls into three broad categories of responsibilities. Project management, data & analytics, and process improvement are kind of the three main veins of work tha...

The Operations Coordinator is responsible for everything after the buying or leasing of a vehicle. The contract and all other documents get sent to the Bank and that is where we come in. We review the documents, contract and make sure that everything matches up (Name, address, collateral inform...

I think the amount of training you get is satisfactory. You have 6 months to really get proficient at your job so that is good (3 months off the phone and 3 months on the phone). Your first few scorecards won't count and you won't officially get a scorecard until 6 months in or so. This will g...

I can speak to my experience as working on a strategic business intelligence team within the investment bank. We supplied all sorts of data, information and tools to not only the teams within banking operations but also the rest of the firm. You can expect to work a lot with different technology ...
