Global Marketing Solutions Intern

June - August 2019 • Austin, TX

What I liked

I enjoyed the company culture, specifically the full-time employees working within my vertical. They were really eager to help us. Despite the fact that they knew some of us would go elsewhere or jump between tech companies, they made sure to answer our questions, were available for meetings, and connected with us online. This was a value that was shared throughout the company and made me view the company in a new light as well as created an amazing workspace.

What I wish was different

The length of the internship. I wish it had been longer!

Advice

Be ok not knowing the answer, the learning process is the experience.

Software Engineer Intern

May - August 2019 • Menlo Park, CA

What I liked

Facebook has a very high standard for their Software Engineering Interns, and I was treated just like any other Software Engineer on my team. This means I was expected to meet the same standard of my code, efficiency, communication, etc. as the full time employees. This challenged me a lot, and I was able to grow my coding skills tremendously throughout this experience. I also got to decide what project I would work on for the internship, and make almost all the decisions affecting my project.

What I wish was different

Completing such a difficult Software Engineering Internship after only my 2nd year of school was very hard. I had to work long hours in order to produce the quality and amount of code expected of me. Although this had a great outcome for me, others might not be prepared to succeed at this internship after only their 2nd year.

Advice

My best piece of advice is to always ask questions and ask for help during your coop. Your manager and team are there to support you and help you succeed, and they should be more than happy to do so! I'm very grateful for how supportive my manager was of me, and without such a great relationship with manager I don't think I would have performed nearly as well as I did.
