During my internship at Alfa, I was able to see every aspect of the company. There were mid-week mixers each week that introduced us interns to the different departments that exist within Alfa. I was informed about Risk Management & Legal, Product & Data Management, Federation, Claims, Investments, Technology & Business Innovation, Human Resources, Marketing and the basics of general insurance. There seemed to be genuine excitement in each mid-week mixer for the members of those departments to meet us interns and tell us about what they do within their departments. I have felt like a real part of the team during my time at Alfa. I never felt as I was just an intern who sat around and existed because the company decided to have interns. I felt lucky to be able to do real work that has an impact on the rest of my team, rather than just toiling around at non-important tasks that might not affect the company, as I've heard of some having that type of experience while interning at larger companies. #J-18808-Ljbffr Alfa Corporation
