Technical Intern III
May 2019 • Nashua, NH
What I liked
I have constantly been learning new skills and expanding my knowledge while working here. There is also a very keen interest shown by management to get interns engaged in real projects (instead of busy work) as well as retain interns after they graduate.
What I wish was different
Although I enjoy my current role, the position I filled on my team was more meant for a Computer Science major rather than a Computer Engineering major, and not knowing that I felt ill-prepared to begin working. That being said, my team was very accepting of the learning curve I faced and ultimately I have settled into the role well, but I still wish I had known more about the position before beginning my internship.
Advice
Be prepared to do real work. BAE does not like for its interns to sit around filing papers and filling out Excel spreadsheets. Even if the work is slow for a little while (although asking for more work is always a good way to fix this), sooner or later a task will come along that your team will need you to complete.

CI Intern
May 2019 • Nashua, NH
What I liked
Each day was a new day. The projects were very interesting. I was also very busy and never low on work. I was able to use some CADing skills as I worked on the 3D printer and CAD program Creo.
What I wish was different
I wish the job was more technical and possibly used some more engineering skills.
Advice
Going into this internship I was nervous about the size of the company. After working here I absolutely love it. Make sure to try what it is like working in a big company before turning it down.

Technical Intern III
May - August 2019 • Wayne, NJ
What I liked
The community of fellow interns and full time employees was amazing, and going to an employee meeting opened my eyes to the social aspect of a technical defense community
What I wish was different
I wish I went to more social meetings as opposed to just working on my project
Advice
It's a place definitely worth going to if your interest is defense systems or tech in general. The people are nice, the projects interesting, and the times fun.

Application Developer
June 2016 • Roy, UT
What I liked
I'm doing what I love
What I wish was different
Nothing
Advice
No matter what position you find yourself in you can find something to do in that position related to what you want to do for your career. If course it has to be beneficial to your job role and if you can fulfill your role more completely with the new things your doing you'll be recognized for it. I've been working in a software developer role for over 2 years. A role that requires a degree, but I do not have my degree yet. After I'm done with school I don't have to look for work and I'll get a significant pay raise. Don't wait to do what you love. You don't have to have a degree to do it, you just need the degree to satisfy corporate requirements in a lot of companies. The degree is just a piece of paper to get you through the door. Your capabilities are what keep you there. So start doing it now.

May - August 2019 • Reston, VA
What I liked
I was able to learn a variety of things from Project Management Cloud Computing and Data Analytics. All the projects were extremely applicable in my classes

Sometimes there was not enough clarity in communications about tasks to the team, but that happens in every job.
Advice

Technical Intern
January 2019 • Hudson, NH
What I liked
The project I worked on over the summer was great. I also loved the interns I worked with. BAE brings in alot of people from other schools and they have ALOT of interns over the summer, so there's lots of opportunity to socialize and meet people.
What I wish was different
Work for the first 6 months was slow. Its hard being a part time intern- they don't know what to do with you because you're not there enough to work on the pressing and important tasks.
Advice
advocate for yourself and find meaningful work. don't hope it will just fall in your lap

Industrial Engineering Intern
May 2018 • Nashua, NH
What I liked
I was given fantastic opportunities to work on real time problems from supply chain pick systems to capacity analysis for test stations. I was also allowed to stay throughout the school year working a day or two a week as needed and have continued to do so to present.
What I wish was different
Quite honestly nothing, the situation was about as good as it gets for students like me.
Advice
Ask questions and look for problems to solve. There is always something to do, you may just have to go out and find it rather than be told to do it.
