It was really nice to get exposure to the entire HR department and be involved in various projects. Everyone in the department was extremely nice and open to giving advice.

Industrial Engineering Intern
June - September 2018 • Redmond, WA
What I liked
It was great experience working for a large scale manufacturing corporation. I was given a large amount of responsibility throughout my time there and was taught a tremendous amount about lean manufacturing through the experience of other engineers and supervisors.
What I wish was different
The company has a very erratic production schedule, meaning that in a manufacturing setting hours varied from 40-60+ hours per week. Working with upper management and IT was also tough as the company is headquartered on the East Coast.
Advice
Make your goals clear to your supervisor as early as possible. If you want to be working on the manufacturing floor more and the office less, request it because the managers are very accommodating and want you to have a good experience.

At times I didn’t have enough work or I was given an assignment that was a repetitive and weeks long task woth little to brake it up.

Ask for more work if you can handle it and jump into conversations.
