Testimonials from previous interns

“I really enjoyed my experience working in Clearstream. I instantly felt welcome and part of the Clearstream team. There is a very open atmosphere within the teams, and so I always felt comfortable asking for help when I needed it. As well as this, I felt that I was trusted and given responsibility when it came to my work. I always felt that I was a valuable member of the team and that my input was valued.”

“As the Compliance Intern, I was responsible for supporting the Compliance Officers with their tasks throughout my internship. I was fortunate to be involved in a KYC (Know Your Customer) Project. Briefly, the KYC involves screening the customers of CGSSL to ensure they remain compliant with the law and the relevant rules and regulations of our sector. Taking part in this project was incredibly rewarding as it offered me a great deal of independence, and the time necessary to work out problems for myself.”

“On a professional level, I was able to build valuable experience in working to deadlines, professional communication and collaboration."
