Software Engineer Intern

July - September 2018 • Costa Mesa, CA

What I liked

Real life experience. The environment is like a computer science lab class where there are just a couple long desks and people can sit next to each other and talk. It was very lenient; you can get up whenever you want and take a break , play ping pong, basketball, skiball, wii, playstation, gamecube, and other video games. The people were really nice, and the most important thing is that I really learned a lot.

What I wish was different

I wish it hadn't been too lenient. The first week, I was ramping up and setting up my environment, and the second week, I was just joining the team, but I was supposed to be on a separate project. Turned out that I was the only intern for that team and the only intern they hired for the internship. Wasn't necessarily bad, but I really can't say many negative things about this place and experience. I actually liked that I was the only intern, and I got to work alongside the real E-commerce team on production. I just wish they had told me that I would be the only intern.

Advice

If there is something you prefer (like having more teammates or working individually or anything else), you should ask about it before it actually begins.
