Software Engineer Intern

May - August 2021 • Philadelphia, PA

What I liked

The opportunity to try out something new and learn about the US Healthcare system. Opportunities to network with other professionals and learn about different teams within the IT organization at Cigna.

What I wish was different

Program felt unorganized at times. There were several interns who were moved around at the last second without any warning into different roles. Intern experience was very dependent on how involved the manager wanted to be.

Advice

Be sure to advocate for yourself so you get the support / resources you need!

Intern

May 2018 • Bloomfield, CT

I really enjoyed every aspect of this internship experience. I'm not sure what I would change.

Advice

Network as much as possible!

Actuarial Intern

May - August 2019 • Bloomfield, CT

What I liked

There is a big actuarial student community at Cigna. The intern committee cares about everyone's experience and wants the interns to learn and do well. Bloomfield was a beautiful area and the work I had was fulfilling. The company has great leadership.

What I wish was different

I wish there were fewer projects in Excel and more in R or Python. I also wished that there were more opportunities and resources to apply data science and advanced statistical methods to the work.

Advice

If interested in Cigna, I would learn as much as I can about the health insurance industry. Learn about the Affordable Care Act, big trends in health today, and health insurance problems faced by Americans today.

Project Intern

May 2019 • Bloomfield, CT

What I liked

The TECDP Program at Cigna is a great place to develop as a rising tech professional. You can grow as much as you want to, and it's easy to find people who can help you along that journey. I had plenty of opportunities to network with executives, and reach out to so many talented employees throughout the company to learn about any technology under the sun, and how to implement it. This past summer I learned more than I could have imagined! I had the privilege of seeing how technologies are used in the industry to facilitate business functions, and keep Cigna ahead of the competition. I also had the opportunity to be a Scrum Master for an intern team, comprised of talented developers and business analysts, to create a viable product that has value and potential to make an impact. Cigna gave me the chance to work with a group of people who are determined to meet their goals!

What I wish was different

I enjoyed the project much more than my role work. If I could spend more time working on just the project, then I certainly would.

Advice

Gratitude is key. Using all the resources to your advantage will help you squeeze the most out of this internship! Network, network, and network. Make friends and seek out like minded people. If you focus on those things, you will learn plenty about the company, the industry, and yourself in the process!

They are currently restructuring the company. There are core changes.

Business Intelligence Infrastructure Engineer Intern

May - August 2018 • Greenwood Village, CO

What I liked

Their TECDP program is phenomenal and sets you up to be extremely well-trained after 3 years.

What I wish was different

I can't think of anything, my experience was excellent this summer.

Advice

Internships are probably more about the networking with people than the actual work you do -- no one's expecting you to reinvent the wheel over 12 weeks.
