Software Engineering Intern

June - September 2022 • San Mateo, CA

What I liked

The culture in the office was great! I got the chance to interact with plenty of experienced software engineers, especially out of the work setting. The project I worked on was impactful, challenging, extremely fun and definitely motivated me to learn a whole plethora of skills.

What I wish was different

Not much! The onboarding process could have been a little smoother but otherwise, nothing to complain about.

Advice

Never be scared or embarrassed to ask for help! That's all I did for the first few weeks of my internship and I learned so much, just by asking questions.

Embedded Firmware Engineering Intern

June - August 2021 • San Mateo, CA

What I liked

Fast & impactful internship. given very important tasks and working closely with many people across multiple teams. Even had leadership opportunities in driving my project from its inception through the design and build process. Great internship program with a lot of fun events (one every week). Ability to work in person every day.

What I wish was different

The company culture is a little bro-y, and there was a sexual harassment scandal in the past that wasn't dealt with in the best way. Sexual harassment training was kind of a joke. Also, the company sells security & surveillance solutions with facial recognition and is not really as concerned with the racial biases ethical implications of the technology as they should be.

Advice

Look into the company more before you accept the offer!
