Software Engineering Intern

June 2019 • Ashland, OR

What I liked

The best components of my internship included getting to work alongside other engineers in an agile environment on a real product. Getting the experience of what it's like to jump into a large code base and learn a collection of new languages/tools was incredibly valuable.

What I wish was different

I honestly wouldn't change anything about my internship experience.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions and talk with other engineers/employees, asking questions and showing interest in the work helps build connections and show that you're committed. On the other-hand, part of being a software engineer is problem solving so practice trying to figure out things for yourself before going to superiors.

Advice

Experience all types of jobs and internships in that field, so when you graduate you have a better idea of what you want to do with your life

Sourcing Intern

May 2019 • Warwick, RI

What I liked

I really like the atmosphere, a lot of people are very helpful in explaining procedure and wanting you to succeed.

What I wish was different

N/A - I love my time with this company and department in particular.

Advice

Don't take anything too personally, someone could have a bad day and not want to work with an intern, and that's fine. Just because you had one bad day at the office does not mean it needs to ruin your perception of the company or the internship as a whole.

Quality Engineer

May 2018 • Louisville, CO

What I liked

I liked the ability to work on my own projects with minimal "hand holding". I get to work for a company that works every day to improve the lives of patients at hospitals worldwide.

What I wish was different

I think that this is the perfect job for someone recently out of college. I dont have anything to complain about. I know that this job will help me pursue my career goals and continue to help people!

Advice

Research companies that share the values that you have. Express interest early and try to get an internship. Go to as many networking events as you can to get time with professionals.
