Child Enrichment Center Intern

May - August 2019 • Westlake, OH

I loved the entire experience! I was lucky to have good management and staff to work alongside, so this created an organized and helpful working environment! I loved working with the kids, and the environment made it easy to do so!

What I wish was different

I wish I had done this sooner! This was a very good experience for me, so I wish I would've known about it sooner!

Development Intern

May 2019 • Cleveland, OH

What I liked

Hyland's culture is amazing. There are over 100 interns at the headquarters in Cleveland, and we were encouraged to spend time and get to know each other. Hyland has a volleyball and basketball court right in the middle of their office, and all employees are encouraged to use it frequently. I was placed on a team where I got to work on a project that utilizes Amazon Alexa within the healthcare software industry. I learned a lot and got to contribute to a significant project for the company.

What I wish was different

I wish Hyland had more locations across the US. While the company is expanding globally, it is still young and only has a few on-site locations.

Advice

The culture of a company is extremely important when considering where to work in the future. A fun, exciting culture makes going to work more than just a job.

Sales Support Intern

June - August 2020 • Westlake, OH

What I liked

Interning at Hyland this past summer was one of the most rewarding experiences that I have had, thus far. As an intern at Hyland, it is up to you to make this a memorable learning opportunity. How involved you are, networking opportunities, types of projects, etc. are all dependent on what you put into the internship. The people at this company are some of the most knowledgable and kind people you will work with. I have heard countless times that "Hyland is a People Company" and that is so true. This is not an internship where you will be running to get coffee or doing tedious work. You will be making a difference as an intern at Hyland.

What I wish was different

Advice

My advice is to take the internship and run with it. Make it your own, cater it to what you like and what you want to learn. The best thing about Hyland is that they allow you to form the internship into what you want out of it. Another piece of advice is to constantly be networking! Everyone at Hyland is very willing to sit down with you and talk about your goals, careers paths, and give professional advice.

Foundations Delivery Intern

June - August 2020 • Westlake, OH

What I liked

Even though the entire experience was remote, I still felt like a core part of the team. I was given enough agency to take responsibility with my work, and was held accountable for making sure that I did it properly and on time. I also was given enough help to make sure that I was never unnecessarily stuck. By the time summer was over, I finished two big projects, and felt proud that I was truly responsible for it. The entire team was extremely helpful, and constantly emphasized the importance of always learning, which included every team member; they were always teaching each other as well as me.

What I wish was different

Advice

Be friendly. Culture is very important at Hyland, and making sure you give it your all both in your work and your workplace is key to success.

Global Healthcare EMEA Services Intern

June 2020 • Westlake, OH

What I liked

Hyland is inviting and nurturing both professionally and personally no matter your official title. Being treated as an equal while being a summer intern made me full needed, and that my work was making a positive impact on the company. The Hyland way of working is very laid back, this does not mean they are lazy. Hyland employees are some of the hardest working people I know. When there is work to be done Hylanders are there and working nonstop to get find a solution, from services to sales, management to development, everyone works together like a well-oiled machine. Hyland is an amazing place to work at any level of your career. If you're ready to use your skills and be challenged in a professional environment, Hyland may be the place for you.

What I wish was different

Advice

Be ready to put your skills and ideas into practice. If you think something can be done better than do it and work with the team to implement it.

Software Quality Assurance Intern

May - August 2019 • Westlake, OH

What I liked

There was a lot learning involved in the internship both related and unrelated to the position that I held. I got the chance to be part of a team that worked on a project from the beginning to end under the supervision of experienced developers which exposed me to professional software development practices. I also got the opportunity to shadow other Hylanders in different roles and got to learn a lot about what they did and their experience in the field which proved to be really helpful to me in forecasting my career path. Hyland did an amazing job at making sure my experience is worthwhile.

What I wish was different

Advice

Take advantage of the all the resources available to you especially the people and the team that you work with and to not be afraid to ask questions. There is a vast amount of skills to be learnt and it can get overwhelming especially if you don't ask for help when you get stuck.

Human Resources Intern

June - August 2021 • Westlake, OH

What I liked

Hyland is all about working in teams, which I personally enjoyed. There are also spaces and opportunities to work independently as well. The spirit and mentality of the company really is community-oriented. It was great to be surrounded by supportive and talented employees that often stopped what they were doing to help me. Hyland really does care about its employees, even down to the intern level. They host many seminars to attend where you have the opportunity to hear from high profile Hyland staff & also planned many intern social events so that the interns could form their own sense of community.

What I wish was different

Since it was a remote internship it made it slightly harder to make connections & meet lots of people but there were definitely ways that Hyland made it easier to make personal relationships with co-workers and mentors. Also since it was remote I had to really hold myself accountable to produce good work which was sometimes challenging but it also made me learn time management skills and independence.

Advice

If you are interested in working for Hyland, I would recommend reaching out to fellow Hylanders and demonstrating your interest. I would also advise a new hire to be a sponge and absorb all that Hyland has to offer. There is so much to see and do as a Hylander so take advantage of the opportunities they have put in place for their employees.

Business Analyst

May - August 2019 • Westlake, OH

What I liked

Amazing company culture and great people. They are the reason that the company has thrived as much as it has.

What I wish was different

In my specific role, more flexibility to shadow other business analysts on other projects.

Advice

Absorb as much information as you can. There are so many processes, software applications, etc. that can be learned. But also absorb the soft things like the people interactions, the events, the comradery - these are the things that make or break an experience.

Data Analyst Intern

June - August 2020 • Westlake, OH

What I liked

While interning at Hyland, you become part of an amazing community. Everyone at the company is so willing to talk to you. I got to learn about different roles and many people gave me advice for the future. My team and my peers were so supportive and it created a great learning environment that allowed me to grow as a young professional. My team was also incredible in teaching me about different projects they were working on. I really learned so much this summer.

What I wish was different

Unfortunately, my internship had to be virtual due to COVID-19. I was disappointed to not have the face to face interaction with my team. However, Hyland was still able to put together a wonderful program given the circumstances and I am very grateful for that.

Advice

Never be afraid to ask questions! Everyone at this company is so eager to help you expand your knowledge and skills. These people have so much to share with you, and all you have to do is ask the right questions! I was able to learn so much just from talking to the people around me.

Research and Development Intern

May 2019 - August 2020 • Westlake, OH

What I liked

No, you won't be grabbing coffee for the office, making copies, or doing any other stereotypical intern activities. Hyland ensures that each intern is working on projects that are relevant to their future career. Moreover, Hyland trains all interns on the technologies required to complete their projects, and if there is a concept that slips through the cracks, all Hyland employees are always very willing to help each other out. I have reached out to countless Hylanders both on my team and across the company to help me with an issues, and every single person has been extremely helpful. Lastly, Hyland's intern community is unparalleled. Throughout my internship, I met tons of other interns! Getting to know and hanging out with other interns made for a great summer.

Sales Support Intern

June - August 2020 • Westlake, OH

What I liked

Being an intern at Hyland was one of the most enlightening and rewarding experiences I could have asked for. Going into this experience, I knew about the perks and the culture, but it wasn’t until I personally witnessed and experienced these aspects of Hyland that I realized just how special this place is to work. You learn so much from this internship. Going into this, I had very little knowledge on the type of stuff that Hyland sells, but after this experience, I couldn’t be more confident when it comes to selling anything. I truly feel as if I can do any job after doing this work. The people at Hyland are incredible and genuinely care about helping one another improve. I never felt like I was bothering people when asking for help, or just asking them about their perspective with Hyland. The people are the true difference that make Hyland stand out. During my time as an intern at Hyland, we had to work from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to these circumstances, Hyland had every reason to cancel this internship program, but decided to keep it regardless. This showed that Hyland is dedicated to their internship program and values what it does for people. If I could do it all over again, I absolutely would.

What I wish was different

Advice

Dare greatly. You get the most out of Hyland when you do the following: 1.) Take advantage of the best part of Hyland, which is the people! Be curious and ask questions, don’t be afraid to ask for help, or just give others your perspective on things. The people are the best part of Hyland, so don’t be afraid to take advantage of this. 2.) Be authentically you. Hyland is special because of the many different types of people with different perspectives, so you should contribute to this and be yourself! I think you’ll quickly notice how much this is valued at Hyland. 3.) Put yourself out there and don’t be afraid to fail. Ask for more projects, offer to help others, and don’t be afraid to do something because it seems difficult. You will learn so much from this, and a big part of that is having a few failures along the way.
