Business Administration Intern

May 2018 - August 2019 • Tampa, FL

What I liked

SOFWERX is a great company for interns. You are given minimal assistance and are expected to deliver a high-quality end product. It really allows you to grow personally and professionally if you are able to work in such an environment.

What I wish was different

I wish there were a few more company-sponsored team building events with interns and employees.

Advice

Even if it's tough to get your standing in the beginning of your internship, keep at it and don't give up. You will grow more than you could imagine if you stay in the internship.
