Placed on a real team, working on current technology (eWallets team). Lots of networking events, intern outings, and free food!
What I wish was different
Sometimes the work load was light, but that's to be expected.
Advice
If you want more work, go get it. If you want to learn about a new role, go ask someone. If you're unhappy about something, say something.
