Yaskawa America Inc.

Embedded Systems Software Developer

May - August 2023 • San Francisco, CA

What I liked

Yaskawa gave me ample opportunity to expand my knowledge base, and provided me valuable and relevant workplace experience.

What I wish was different

There was a steep learning curve regarding company technology. I wished I was given an opportunity to ease into the position.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask for clarification or help on a given task. Your seniors and co-workers understand the situation you are in, and are more than willing to help you out.

Project Management Intern

May 2019 - August 2020 • Waukegan, IL

What I liked

I really enjoyed the department. My manager was awesome and was always willing to talk about the company and operations. My co workers were among the best I've worked with to date. The office was incredibly relaxed, while maintaining professional courtesy at all times. The dress code was ideal.

What I wish was different

Due to my job description I worked at a desk most of the day. Not really a way to change that, but this is something I didn't enjoy.

Advice

Make a point to go out of your way to find work.
