Toyota Connected

Software Engineering Intern

May - August 2019 • Plano, TX

What I liked

Toyota Connected has a very friendly, helpful, and supportive atmosphere. From the start, I felt welcomed to the company even though I was an intern - I was surprised when they offered suggestions for where to find local housing and even sent a couple care packages to me in the spring (after I'd accepted my offer)! They had a great program for the interns to hear from top executives (think CEO, CTO, etc.) of the company in addition to other opportunities such as scrum/agile training and a resume workshop. I felt like the project I worked on was meaningful and all of the full-time employees were more than willing to offer their help and to give feedback on the project.

What I wish was different

The internship program tended to group interns together into teams working on projects, but I think it would have been a more valuable experience to have interns working on teams with the full-time employees. Also, there's little to no usable public transit in the area, so you basically need a car to get around.

Advice

Remember to network with the full-time employees and to explore the local area. You never know if your internship could one day be your full-time job!
