Software Quality Engineer Intern
May - August 2019 • Spartanburg, SC
What I liked
I Really enjoyed the work. I loved being able to work with a team to solve problems regarding quality of super cool cars. I enjoyed getting to know all of my coworkers and being able to explore the assembly process of BMW's SUVs
What I wish was different
I will the location was different. There is a lot of traffic in the area that I was working in and my personality does not fit in the south.
I also wish that there would have been a little more for me to do. My managers and mentors were very busy so it was hard for them to give me projects and things to work on.
Advice
Engineering in the real work is vastly different than it is in college. There are so many directions that it can take you and you never know what you may end up doing.
