Diligent Corporation

Data Analyst Intern

June - August 2021 • Washington, DC

What I liked

Stereotypical answer, I know, but the culture was great. My manager and I got along very well and we shared many interests. While he was fairly overworked, in my opinion, he made time each and every day to check-in on the status of my project and offer advice where he could. Unfortunately, I was the only member of my team with any statistics or data science knowledge meaning my work was fairly isolated from others. Nevertheless, the experience at Diligent and the results of my project are what led me to have 4 different during the Fall 2021 recruiting cycle. They give real, important projects to interns which is likely more important than the company name on a resume because you can talk about said project in subsequent interviews.

What I wish was different

Given the state of the pandemic during the summer of 2021, the entire internship was remote. I believe if it had been in person I would have had a more fulfilling, personable experience.

Advice

Nothing more than the standard advice: get to know people on your team, get to know the other interns, ask questions, and be open to learning new things.

July 2020 • Bear, DE

What I liked

Exposure, pace, and workload was manageable. Everyone in all departments were very friendly and helpful. They made sure to show us all aspects of the company. But also there were virtual events to make the experience better due to covid.

What I wish was different

More interactions or projects with other interns
