Everything. Company culture, accommodations as a student, hours, work schedule; literally everything has been amazing.

Advice

Do your best to be the most true to yourself and find what fits the “you” you want to be. Every negative falls to the wayside when you find a job that you’re excited to go to each day. Better to be happy and fulfilled than struggling.

Mechanical Engineering Intern

May - August 2019 • Richmond, VA

What I liked

I loved the people and atmosphere. I got very close to my team and thoroughly enjoyed working with them throughout my time there. The type of engineering the mechanical engineers perform was unfortunately not aligned with my interests. The emphasis is more on CAD work and soft design than hardcore analytical design. However, I learned a lot about important design principles, processes, and mechanical basics like deciding what hardware/material/manufacturing process to use for certain applications. I was able to work with assembly teams and help assemble machines and I found that to be a very enjoyable and instructional experience as well as working with my engineering team and the technical documentation team.

Advice

I would advise this company to anyone who enjoys CAD work and is not a big fan of the math and theory side of engineering. And if you have any machine shop experience that is very valuable to this field of engineering.
