Product Development

May - August 2019 • Auburn Hills, MI

What I liked

I really enjoyed the work environment, all my coworkers were so supportive and helpful. When they did not have an answer to my questions, they’d directly refer me to someone who did. I learned so much for my project and this internship pushed me further to a more software oriented career. I also got full ownership of my project, from start to finish, and it really spoke volumes of how FCA trust their employees. Excited to go back this incoming summer for another internship with FCA!!

What I wish was different

I wish I could have met more directors and executives.

Advice

Ask a lot of questions. A lot of people get stuck, and it’s vital to refuse to be in the phase and asking a lot of questions to the right people is a way.

May - August 2019 • Toledo, OH

What I liked

Support from supervisors and colleagues. Able to see manufacturing processes first hand. Be able to share ideas on improvement and highlight quality issues. FCA also had a number of intern events such as test driving different cars, etc. There were also a lot of seminars related to stress management, engineering, etc. so there is a lot to learn.

What I wish was different

I wish I was at a location in Michigan closer to other interns. I also wish the housing accommodations were better. Lastly I wish my assignment was more hands on with cars rather than manufacturing of individual components.

Thermal Systems Engineer

I wish I would have started with a higher wage.

Advice

Hard work really stands out above all else. Even if you don't have hard data at the end of an internship, everyone's impression of you almost matters more.
