It might be the ultimate career achievement for a college student—landing an amazing summer internship AND getting a full-time job offer.

You know if a company is doing things right by how many interns accept that job offer. Count global asset management firm OppenheimerFunds among that group. Two years ago, 100 percent of the interns they offered full-time jobs to accepted them. And that acceptance rate has stayed pretty steady since.

1. Management listens to interns. (For real.)

“My supervisors sought to learn about my interests and how my goals aligned with theirs, as well as the company’s. They were open to new ways of thinking and flexible with how I worked.”

Emmanuel Graves, Infrastructure Engineer

2. Your co-workers make work exciting and—yes—fun.

“The level of collaboration and passion conveyed by the employees at Oppenheimerfunds really inspired me to challenge myself. Not only are people performing and executing at the highest level, but they are the most down-to-earth and humble individuals you’ll ever meet.”

Bryan Dominguez, HR Analyst

3. The company culture is too good to let go of.

“As an intern, my team at OppenheimerFunds worked so well together. I loved being surrounded by the culture there. Then I realized I’d be leaving all of that behind at the end of the summer.”

Steven Reilly, Business Development Services Analyst

4. You can’t get the same amount of experience anywhere else.

“One of the coolest things for me was working on assignments beyond my intern team project—I was able to add value to the company on a larger scale.”

5. You make an impact at a global company—before you’re even a senior.

“During my internship, my colleagues valued my opinion and provided me with meaningful work that impacted a wide array of stakeholders. To be placed in a position where decisions have a ripple effect encouraged me to accept challenges and think quickly on my feet.”

Bryan Dominguez

6. You see your impact at work over the course of the summer.

“Every intern—no matter where they work—starts out being able to contribute a certain amount. With each project, you have to show what you’re capable of and establish trust with your team.”

Steven Reilly

7. You learn a ton of skills you never would have otherwise.

“My internship definitely prepared me for a full-time position at OppenheimerFunds. I learned close to 10 new software applications in the process, which helped me define where I wanted to go next.”
