Alexa: I am currently working on industry research to evaluate potential opportunities for the asset-based lending team in Japan. I have had the opportunity to work on a few projects, all of them are research- and analytic-based, which I have enjoyed.

Alexa: I have refined my research and report writing abilities significantly while at GE. I have also learned about office dynamics in Japan.

The culture here at GE Capital Japan is an interesting blend of Japanese and American business. It was great to get a chance to work at a very high-performing international firm. The office was very welcoming and willing to help interns learn and participate.

Alexa: The GE internship is really great, but it is not for those who do not want to work hard. You should expect to be taken seriously as an adult, and not have your hand held in the work you do. It has been a great experience and has given me a look into what is expected outside the realm of academia.

Alexa: After graduation, my goal is to be happy and challenged in my work. Interning at GE has given me hope that I can succeed in whichever field I end up in.

Alexa: I see this internship at GE as "polishing" before I enter the workforce – and I definitely believe that because of this experience I will have a higher "market value" in job hunting compared to my peers.
