Engineering Development Intern

June - August 2018 • Natick, MA

What I liked

Amazing mentorship opportunities. There are several resources to help you adjust and learn more about the company, as well as to help develop your own technical skills. They expose you to a lot of different aspects of the company as well so you get a good feel for what they do on a day to day basis.

What I wish was different

I wish I had more opportunities to meet other interns; oftentimes I was stuck working on my own project and in my own team. There was little cross-team exchanges which I would have appreciated.

Advice

Work on time management skills! They are extremely crucial to succeed in software roles such as this.
