Polen Capital

Relationship Associate Intern

June - August 2024 • Boca Raton, FL

What I liked

The culture at Polen was amazing. Everyone is so friendly and they set you up with a mentor to help you along the way. The work was great, you get to experience and sit in with a lot of senior staff and see what they do. You work on a capstone which is your biggest task for the summer and then present your idea to the whole firm. I loved this project as it brought me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to leave a positive impact on the firm. They provide housing which is amazing and real care about your overall well-being. I am very excited to go back full time on the advisor relations, and really recommend applying for an internship here because it is a great experience and firm.

Client Service Intern

June - August 2022 • Boca Raton, FL

What I liked

Polen Capital does a great job with their internship program. A big part of the internship program is a capstone project each intern works on throughout the summer and presents it to the firm at the end of the internship. This project allows each intern to work hands-on with their team and create tangible results. Not only does this project aid in learning and development within the team but it allows them to present the project to the whole firm which is a learning experience in itself. Polen Capital ensures each intern is given resources to learn about the firm and to be successful in their day to day. The company fosters an environment that empowers the interns to reach out to full-time employees of all positions to have 30-minute conversations to learn about their role, experience, and anything else they might want to know. Polen Capital has a fantastic culture that treats their interns and employees very well making it a healthy and happy environment to work in. One of many perks is the free lunches they provide every day! Overall, my internship experience was very positive and ultimately ended with a job offer that I happily accepted.
