Safety Intern

May 2019 • Lexington, KY

I never did any of the “intern duties” like checking dates, making copies, or anything like that. They trusted me from the beginning and have been really supportive of all my work. It is fast pace and exciting, you are not stuck behind a desk all day.

What I wish was different

First year of such a large intern group, could have been a little more organized

Advice

Be willing to be comfortable talking with others and getting to know LOTS of people.

Electrical Engineering Intern

May - August 2019 • Manassas, VA

What I liked

I got to work side by side with full time engineers on a team that is designing a new product for the company. Tasks that we could take on were really flexible but still added actual value to the team. There was an intern program with lots of informational sessions, both technical and career driven

What I wish was different

During the summer that I interned with LM, a lot of the design was already laid out from years of testing and development and I didn’t get to fully experience that process

Advice

When you do an internship, it’s hard to get work you enjoy if you never express what you’re interested in. Often times, employees are really supportive in giving you the best experience as long as you ask!

Autonomy Intern

May - August 2019 • Stratford, CT

What I liked

Really interesting work if you like implementing theory in software. They put interns on tasks that they would do themselves at some point, so if you return for another internship, you might see your project in use. None of the tasks are high priority so it's not a big deal if you didn't get to finish what you were doing. Get to see cool helicopters and how they are made.

What I wish was different

I wish I had known about the move to Trumbull ahead of time and that the recruiter was more communicative. I also wish that everything was ready for interns when we got there.

Advice

As much as I hate to say it, getting a job most places is all about connections. If you have a connection, you can more or less guarantee yourself a job. That being the case, make sure to make a good impression while working anywhere as an intern. You're there only for a short period of time, so put in 110% effort to impress your manager and senior engineers. People like working with people they can depend on, so be that person.

Multi-Functional Finance Intern

June - August 2018 • Orlando, FL

What I wish was different

Even though I was doing Level 1 work, I was not challenged by the tasks I was doing.

Advice

I would encourage other to get out of their comfort zones and go new places even if it means not knowing anyone in the new area.

Procurement Intern

June - August 2018 • Stratford, CT

What I liked

The team, the area, learning more about supply chain, everything! I loved learning more about the company and more about the program I was working on.

What I wish was different

I wish I had a heavier work load at times, but with how little training I had it wasn't very possible.

Advice

I was open minded going into a state I had never been before not knowing anyone and it ended up being one of the best summers I could've asked for, so remember to always be open minded!

May - August 2018 • Owego, NY

What I wish was different

I wish there was a Chick-fil-A near by, but sounds like they might be getting one soon in Vestal, NY.

Advice

Make sure you ask for things to work on and ask questions when you are stuck. People are very busy and it's easy for them to miss emails and forget that you are bored. They are so helpful, but you have to be proactive and ask.
