Description:
S&P Global profiles Amisha Unnadkat, a new graduate programme member
and member of both the WINS (Women’s Initiative for Networking and
Success) and APEX (Asian Professionals for Excellence) employee-resource
groups. WINS is committed to creating a culture that inspires all
employees to develop their leadership abilities, seize growth
opportunities, and increase their knowledge of S&P Global for
organizational and personal success. Similarly, APEX seeks to help
employees better understand diverse markets and support professional
development by providing educational sessions and networking
opportunities with Asian professionals from across regions, businesses,
and experience levels.
Attending Bright Network events enabled me to gain a greater insight
into the scope of opportunities and range of careers available.
Why did you choose this firm and this role?
After completing a
ten week internship at S&P Global Ratings, I was offered a place on the
graduate programme. Having had the opportunity to gain a real
understanding of how the firm operates during the summer internship, I
was able to make an informed decision about returning for the graduate
programme. It was an easy decision to make since my experience had been
really positive. As an intern, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount
of responsibility I was given, and the collaborative and inclusive
company culture really appealed to me. Further, it was clear that the
company is focused on investing in junior talent. For example, the
graduate programme kickstarts with a comprehensive training in New York,
and we receive periodic, on-going trainings throughout the remainder of
the programme.
What tips would you give to graduates applying now?
Make sure
you do your research on the companies you are applying for. Whilst it is
important that you understand the technicalities of how the firm
operates, it is equally important that you are able to assess whether
the firm’s culture and working environment are the right fit for you.
Attending networking events or partipating in internship programmes are
ways of witnessing this first-hand.
