I liked working in test because I was able to get away from my desk and run tests on prototype tractors. It was enjoyable to go to work everyday.

Manufacturing Engineering Intern
May - August 2023 • Racine, WI
What I liked
A good amount of freedom to choose what I wanted to focus on. If I asked for more work I was quickly given things to do.
What I wish was different
I wish I had been given a bit more ownership of what I worked on, but it was a pretty short internship so I feel that if it had been longer then I would have gotten to that point.
Advice
If you feel like you don't have work to do - speak up and ask for more, but also try to come up with some suggestions of what might need to be done that you'd like to work on.

ICT Support Specialist
May 2019 • Racine, WI
What I liked
Company culture is very good. People seem to treat each other with respect. Scheduling is also forgiving and flexible. Having the opportunity to work for a global company and a major player in the AG and CE segments is awesome. There are many opportunities within the company and areas to grow.
What I wish was different
The on-boarding process was a bit chaotic as I felt like I wasn't doing anything for a little while.
Advice
Absolutely go to the career fair if you are interested in gaining experience with a large company. I had tried to get different jobs within the company before but they were all contract work through 3rd parties. I hadn't considered even going to the career fair but I am glad I did.

Quality Intern
May - August 2018 • Wichita, KS
What I liked
I liked being able to have exposure to my field of interest. I was also assigned projects that gave me valuable experience in managing projects that had a real impact on the manufacturing line. Everyone I worked with was friendly and very willing to help with anything I needed.
What I wish was different
I wish I had had a little more direction in my tasks, and a more complete description of my internship responsibilities at the outset. Also more projects to work on.
Advice
Always be willing to learn. When I started my internship there were a lot of new concepts I had to learn, as well as adjusting to the work environment. If you're willing and able to learn new things, you can quickly adapt to almost any circumstance.
