I got to learn a lot about how the government functions and I got to travel
What I wish was different
I wish I got more hands on engineering experience.
Advice
Definitely have a lot of patience working here as an intern because it takes a while to get fully settled in

General Engineer
May - August 2019 • Albuquerque, NM
What I liked
This internship gave lots of opportunity for those who wish to work in government. Return offers were almost guaranteed, and the job was very lax.
What I wish was different
The job was heavily oriented toward program management, which I was unaware upon accepting the offer. Not much was expected, which made it easy to excel but often hard to find meaningful work.
Advice
For someone searching for hands on engineering experience, this is not the place for you. However, the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center is a perfect opportunity for someone passionate about systems engineering or for someone looking to work in government.
