Electrical Engineering Intern

May - September 2023 • Clifton, NJ

What I liked

I loved the work environment, everyone from managers, new hires, and other interns is willing to help out. I love how L3 employees reached out to me and ensured I was prepared. They always put me in the best position to succeed and kept in contact with me to ensure they gave me tasks in my best interest. I also really liked the encouragement to determine what type of learning experience I will have here. If there was help needed in a program different than mine, I was more than welcome to ask to do a task for that program.

What I wish was different

I was working on a heavy program and I wished I stayed long enough to see it through.

Advice

Do not be afraid to make mistakes. You are there to learn and make the most out of your time, the more involved you are, the better connections you will make with others. Please ask a ton of questions and pick everyone's brain, I can't stress that enough. The experience I gained at L3Harris goes far beyond anything I have done in school.

Software Engineering Intern

January - May 2023 • Greenville, TX

What I liked

Good pay. Learned how to conduct business with professionalism.

What I wish was different

Not much learned as team members kept leaving and new comers filled the team where I ended up being the expert on the team with less than 3 months experience. Management was also not accommodative as they were the reason no mobility or learning was offered.

Software Engineer Intern

May - July 2023 • Salt Lake City, UT

What I liked

I loved my team and my manager. They were all so supportive of me and willing to help me every step of the way. I definitely did not have much experience in software engineering in general, but everyone taught me a little as the summer went on. I learned a lot of valuable skills from this summer.

What I wish was different

I was a little bit disappointed with the lack of intern intern interaction during the summer. I wish I could have met more of my fellow interns and interacted with them on a regular basis instead of just once at the beginning of the summer and once at the end.

Advice

Reach out to people in the workplace! You'll find that everyone wants to see you as an intern succeed and are more than happy to help you along the way to success.

Software Engineer Intern

June 2020 • Salt Lake City, UT

What I liked

It was great to see how the code I write fits into a the scheme of a larger project, and how the people around me helped me understand the context for which I was writing my code.

What I wish was different

I really had a hard time working from home. To this day, I haven't even stepped foot onto the workplace campus, and I felt isolated while waiting for responses and answers to my questions.

Advice

Don't be afraid to frequently ask questions and stay in contact! There are many people that can and want to help, even if they are quite busy.

Communication Intern

June - August 2021 • Melbourne, FL

What I liked

This internship was an incredible introduction into the professional world. While my internship was online, the entire team had weekly meetings and my manager and coworkers were always happy to help. I was introduced to the philanthropic side of the company, working on getting other interns involved in volunteering, as well as completing preliminary research for the international roll-out of the company's volunteer program. It was a great experience, and a great introduction to one of the many possibilities of International Business.

What I wish was different

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions or think outside of the box. While both are cliché pieces of advice, they are helpful to remember, especially when first entering the professional world.

Computer Systems Software Engineer

June - August 2019 • Palm Bay, FL

What I liked

The environment of the company and how welcoming. My segment dealt with the infrastructure of the company so there was no client deadline to meet, but your own personal deadlines.

What I wish was different

I wish It could’ve been longer and I could’ve dealt with a customer project to get the feel of being under more pressure.

Advice

Take full advantage of all aspects of the opportunity. Meaning, go out to the intern events to learn more about the company different segments, talk to other interns and full time employees, and most importantly ask questions. The time as an intern is a step towards full-time so you want to make your best impression during the time you’re there.

Embedded Software Engineering Intern

Mechanical Engineering Intern

May - July 2019 • Clifton, NJ

What I liked

It was a great general engineering experience, and challenged me to use CAD, something I had used before but not mastered. My manager made sure I did work that was actually beneficial for the company, and the kept me busy with interesting work.

What I wish was different

I wish the location itself was more exciting; I mostly sat at my desk all day. I also am very passionate about sustainable practices, and there didn't seem to be much push for that at Clifton.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions. There's nothing worse than getting stuck on a problem and not doing anything to find the answer.

EHS Engineer

July - August 2018 • Salt Lake City, UT

What I liked

I loved the opportunity to gain experience in the environmental, health, and safety field in a "real-world" situation. I gained exposure to 3 new software databases, expanded my knowledge of environmental policy, and discovered the inner mechanisms of a business world.

What I wish was different

Although I did learn a lot from my internship, I spent a lot of my time doing classic intern work where I was uploading documents to a new database. I understand that it was my position and I am grateful for everything that I gained from this experience, but it did lack a certain level of mental stimulation at times.
