I enjoyed the fact that there was always something to do. There were multiple people I could reach out to if I was in between projects to make sure I was able to put my all into every shift.
What I wish was different
It would have been nice to interact with the other interns on a more frequent basis. Although I was the only intern in my department, I think having the opportunity to work on projects with the interns in other departments would have been advantageous for all parties and may have fostered an even more enjoyable work environment.
Advice
Don't be afraid to ask questions. This was a huge learning experience for me, and a lot of my learning came from asking questions, receiving answers, and applying that information on my own.

What I liked
Nice co-workers. Easy place to work. Flexibility in your time spent working. Allowed to work from home. Extended my single semester co-op into a double block.
What I wish was different
A lot of work would be done on one or two days of the week and then you wouldn't have much the rest of the week.
Advice
Ask for more work otherwise you'll just be bored most of the day. Leave the office like an hour after everyone else to avoid traffic, they'll probably let you leave work early on Friday to make up for it so you don't work over 40 hours.
