Athene’s intern experience

Members of the 2025 Athene internship class share what it is like working at Athene.

"Athene really cares about giving back, and I loved being involved in so many community initiatives this summer. One of the best parts of my internship was helping put together and join a Habitat for Humanity volunteer event. Interns and their leaders teamed up to help build homes for families in the community.” 

- Nicole Johnson, Community Engagement Intern, Iowa State University

 

"It’s hard to believe how much growth and learning can happen in just one summer, but that is exactly what an internship at Athene delivers. Working with the Cloud IAM team has taught me so much about the importance of secure access in cloud infrastructure. I’ve had the opportunity to dive into real-world security work and collaborate with a team that pushes me to keep learning. Thank you to my team, mentors, fellow interns and Mindy Butler for such a great summer.”

- Saamarth Attray, Cloud Security Intern, Virginia Tech

"From collaborating with an amazing team on high-impact financial projects to participating in intern events like the Intern Olympics, Topgolf and a company BBQ, every day has been a mix of growth, learning and fun. Being part of Athene's dynamic culture has helped me sharpen my analytical skills, better understand the world of finance, and connect with a cohort of driven and supportive employees and interns. Big thanks to everyone at Athene who’s made this internship so meaningful.”

- Kullen Ringenberg, Financial Planning and Analysis Intern, University of South Carolina
