Great onboarding process. Took you out to lunch on your first day with the rest of the team members. The projects were value-added projects too.
What I wish was different
Around July the company didn't have anymore projects for me to work on, so I was pretty much done working. But they wanted me to keep putting time in, so I did less and less actual work every day.
Advice
The interview process was pretty chill. You just need to prove that you're a hard worker and will bring value to the position you fill to be hired.

Field Lborer
May - August 2020 • Phoenix, AZ
What I liked
I really enjoyed the hands-on experience in the field as I learned a tremendous about the different processes in the field.
What I wish was different
I can't really complain about anything from this job, so there is nothing that I feel should have been different.
Advice
Make sure to get your 7-8 hours of sleep every night because you are up at 3 am every morning and it is strenuous work for 10 hours of the day.

May - August 2019 • Tempe, AZ

I really enjoyed that I was able to get hands on experience and apply the things I was learning in the classroom. Okland did a great job at giving me responsibilities and helping me feel that I was part of the team.
What I wish was different
I wished that Arizona wouldn't have been so hot!
Advice
One piece of advice that I would share about this experience that applies to all internships is to make sure that you go wanting to learn and do your best because even if you don't get a job offer, making connections is so important!

Construction Project Management Intern
May - August 2019 • Lehi, UT
What I liked
Okland is an amazing company! They treat you like an employee and give you real responsibilities. You are actually contributing to the project as an intern and will give you more responsibility if you ask. If you want to try something new like help the trades or learn to schedule they will let you. When you work at Okland you will have a remarkable experience.
What I wish was different
They took a while to let me know I had an internship with them, but it was a great experience. You get out of your internship what you put into it.
Advice
Ask questions and work hard. Also, if you don't know how to do something ask and then take notes in how to do it so you don't forget. Keep a to do list of your tasks, because there is a lot to keep track of.
