Software Quality Assurance Intern
August 2017 • Provo, UT
What I liked
They are very good about flexibility. I was able to work full-time over the summer when I could, and was able to take vacations in August and come right back to work.
What I wish was different
My only regret is that the work I do does not apply directly to my area of interest (Data Science and Machine Learning)
Advice
If you can get a job at BYU Broadcasting Digital Media department, do it! It is a great hands-on stepping stone into the software development workforce, and the full-time employees are very good about giving students experience coding for real-life production software.
