Leadership was approachable and willing to provide assistance with assigned tasks.
What I wish was different
Training doesn’t adequately prepare one for the position itself. It should have been more intensive.
Advice
The knowledge base used is convoluted. It is hard to grasp concepts when instructions aren’t properly aligned.

Workforce Optimization Intern
May - October 2021 • Madison, WI
What I liked
Really enjoyed the culture!
What I wish was different
I wish that there had been more communication with my direct supervisor before the first day
Advice
I learned a lot from this experience but decided to pursue other opportunities as I am still a junior and have 1 more summer where I could intern. I think having 2 distinct internships help students grow a lot.

What I liked
What I wish was different
Due to COVID my internship thankfully wasn't canceled but rather it went remote. I would have loved for it to be in person to have gotten to know my coworkers better and have gone to all the internship events that were unable to be held.

Associate Developer Intern
May 2019 • Madison, WI
What I liked
Diverse atmosphere, great work ethics, and tons of work events for interns.
What I wish was different
I wish processes and practices were stream-lined well with documentation. Its a double edged sword though, processes seem to be always changing; but some old processes at WPS still exist, and could be documented better. Processes need to be identified from previous employees, which could be good if you have strong interpersonal skills.
Advice
WPS is a great company to work for, and was an amazing experience. Solid foundation of work ethics, dynamic work environment, and strong implementation of a new-ish agile type project management.
