At Simon Group Holdings, we have deemed the warm-weather months as “intern season.” Every year, interns full of passion, energy and eagerness to learn join our team; and we welcome them into the SGH family with open arms. For us, an internship goes beyond getting coffee and organizing spreadsheets. We believe an internship should pave the way for a life-long career of success, and provide tools and skills that our interns can take with them well into the future.
We are determined to make their experiences with us count, so we opened the conversation with each of our seven interns on why they chose SGH and how they think their internship will be beneficial to their career. Among their responses, we found quite a few synergies; mainly related to the strong SGH culture and team camaraderie.

We always talk about investing in people, and how a strong team culture is prioritized above all else, so we were pleased with the way all seven of our interns responded to this question:

In addition to maintaining a strong team dynamic, our mission is to be industry disruptors across our entire family of companies. Innovative, out-of-the-box thinking is instilled in all our team members, so it is important for us to ensure our interns adopt that same mindset. We asked the interns how they believe their role at Simon Group Holdings would help them prepare for the future, and through their responses we found that overall, they receive a well-rounded experience that encourages them to expand their minds and pursue new, innovative ideas. Here’s what they had to say:
“The collaborative atmosphere allows us to foster innovation in many forms. I’ve witnessed team members come together to develop ideas that would have never been thought of had they been working alone.”
