What I liked

I was treated like a coworker. The project I was a part of was an actual application for a client, not something that I would develop and then remain unused. My coworkers were all very kind and it was always a joy to talk with them. They would help me solve difficult issues and would give suggestions if I could not figure out how to proceed. I got to work with a variety of team members and learned how to be a part of sprint meetings with the client. We also had a "tech lunch" once per week where we would get together and discuss a new technical topic. This was one of my favorite parts of the week because I got to learn more about new technologies and was able to hang out with my coworkers.

What I wish was different

Possibly working with another intern might be have been nice, but overall I would not change anything about the experience I had.

Advice

Be prepared for the responsibilities. You will be working on an actual project for a real client. It is important to make sure you are doing your best to make progress and finish the project in time. Also, try to get to know some of the other employees. They are all amazing people who are both fun to talk to and helpful to learn from.
