Everyone that I worked with either directly or indirectly was extremely helpful and cared about making the experience worthwhile. I was given tasks that would be seen and used by clients and was able to expand on the knowledge and skills I already had.
What I wish was different
I overall loved my experience with Booz and wouldn't have changed anything
Advice
Don't be afraid to ask questions, but put in the effort to see if you can figure things out on your own first.

Software Developer Intern
June - August 2018 • Rockville, MD
What I liked
I got to build software that was important. We rewrote the navies communication system from the ground up and it is being implemented across the entire fleet now.
What I wish was different
Not much. I loved it.
Advice
Get internships. Do projects. Don't reily on simply what gcc requires you to do. That is not good enough. Make the extra effort to show companies that you care about your profession by persueing it outside of normal school hours.

Summer Games Intern
June - August 2018 • Norfolk, VA
What I liked
It was a lot of fun, met a lot of great people. Taught myself a lot and learnt a lot of how to deal with people. Spent 10 weeks working with a team of not only developers was a wicked experience
What I wish was different
More people who were able to mentor me about game design, and who were connected with the game industry.
Advice
People who know nothing about coding literally know NOTHING about how coding works. Also, communication with such people (and even fellow developers) are incredibly important.

The way that the Summer Games Program is set up is really neat and if you get a cool project it is a really rewarding Summer.

Summer Games Intern

I loved working in a group of both business majors and engineering majors. I made long terms friends with all of my group members. The "benefits" for the summer were great too. San Diego is amazing.
What I wish was different
I wish it would have been more technical/engineering related. I gained workplace experience, but not much engineering experience.
Advice
I would say that this was an amazing summer internship. Definitely get everything that you can from it and make long-term connections within the company.
