Information Security Analyst Intern

June 2021 • Canonsburg, PA

What I liked

I enjoyed the corporate atmosphere. This is one of the most important aspects of the internship because you can not experience that in a classroom. I also enjoyed the friendly atmosphere where my coworkers were willing to help and answer questions. Learning new technologies and ideas is also an awesome experience.

What I wish was different

There is not much that I would change about my internship. The only thing I would change would be going into the office, however that was not possible due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Advice

Some advice to anyone who is starting their internship or awaiting to get one, is that you will likely not know how to do everything that is assigned to you. In fact, it may take awhile for you to get into the swing of things and understand how to properly do your job. As long as you show that you are determined and committed, your coworkers and manager will recognize this and support you.

Marketing Intern

May 2019 • Canonsburg, PA

What I liked

I loved becoming immersed into the Pharmaceutical industry and learning about all that it entails. Marketing in pharmaceuticals is a different entity than traditional marketing due to heavy internal and external regulation, so it was fascinating to apply my problem-solving skills to generate unique, creative solutions. My thoughts were appreciated by my team, and my boss, the Senior Director of Generics Marketing, which left me awestruck! Fast forward, I'm currently working for Mylan in October 2019 watching my ideas come to fruition for our Women's Healthcare team.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had an opportunity to have dialogue with higher-level executives and inquire about their career progression. I am intrigued by the upper echelon of Fortune 500 companies, and how leaders use logic and rationality to make decisions best suited for the company.

Advice

To challenge yourself and be an advocate for learning in all capacities! When you're not hindered to a comfort zone, innovation and success is a daily pattern.

R&D Chemistry-Metrology Intern

May - August 2018 • Morgantown, WV

What I liked

Mylan was a great company to work for that was passionate about their work. I had the opportunity to present my summer work in front of some of the executives of the company including the Global Head of research and development.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have head a more extensive and important project. My project was fairly menial.

Advice

Mylan is a great company to work for with a lot of really cool activities for you to learn and interact with other interns from around the company.

Innovation Engineer

May 2019 • Pittsburgh, PA

What I liked

I was able to work something I felt was important. Working on proof of concept medical devices was extremely exciting. The idea that a product I helped develop could potentially end up serving millions of people is mind-blowing.

What I wish was different

I wish I had been able to work overtime. I couldn't get enough of my job and I enjoyed the people I work with. Also, I wish there was a senior version of my position which I reported to so I could learn how to improve. Due to the size of the team I became the authority on my own quality of work.

Advice

It is paramount that people either work with people they enjoy, believe in what they do, or do something they enjoy. I had the unique opportunity of getting all of those in my position. Keep searching until you find at least two of those in a job and going to work will be something to look forward to.

What I wish was different

It is imperative to keep a good calendar and review emails daily and very often.

Global Corporate Consolidiations

May - August 2019 • Canonsburg, PA

What I liked

Hands on experience in different enterprise systems.

What I wish was different

Central project to work on rather than many tiny projects

Advice

Pay attention to all the consolidations process because if you haven’t taken advanced accounting yet it’ll coincide with it almost exactly.

Graphic Design Intern

June - August 2019 • Canonsburg, PA

What I liked

I loved the collaborative environment that Mylan offered and how each team worked together daily. Interns at Mylan are treated as full-time employees and held at the same standard. We were involved in real projects within our field and got the opportunity to work with people from all over the world. My supervisor and co-workers were also super encouraging and helped set up meetings for me to sit down with employees from other departments that I was interested in.

What I wish was different

Occasionally, the communication was lacking and caused confusion with assignments or projects and I wasn't sure of the best way to reach my supervisor. I wish I would have asked more clarifying questions when I had time with my supervisor.

Advice

Always give your best effort and have a positive attitude throughout the whole experience. Attitude is something that they will remember most. Also, never be afraid to ask questions.
