I liked the size of the company and the people I worked with. Everyone was friendly, and the work was diverse, allowing me to experience several different parts of mechanical design.
What I wish was different
I was not fond of the area or the intern program itself. Virginia in the summer is far too hot, and all the other interns were from the area so they did not want to explore. This company was a military contractor exclusively, so everything was way too secretive.

EHS Engineer
July - August 2018 • Salt Lake City, UT
What I liked
I loved the opportunity to gain experience in the environmental, health, and safety field in a "real-world" situation. I gained exposure to 3 new software databases, expanded my knowledge of environmental policy, and discovered the inner mechanisms of a business world.
What I wish was different
Although I did learn a lot from my internship, I spent a lot of my time doing classic intern work where I was uploading documents to a new database. I understand that it was my position and I am grateful for everything that I gained from this experience, but it did lack a certain level of mental stimulation at times.

Computer Systems Software Engineer
June - August 2019 • Palm Bay, FL
What I liked
The environment of the company and how welcoming. My segment dealt with the infrastructure of the company so there was no client deadline to meet, but your own personal deadlines.
What I wish was different
I wish It could’ve been longer and I could’ve dealt with a customer project to get the feel of being under more pressure.
Advice
Take full advantage of all aspects of the opportunity. Meaning, go out to the intern events to learn more about the company different segments, talk to other interns and full time employees, and most importantly ask questions. The time as an intern is a step towards full-time so you want to make your best impression during the time you’re there.
