Product engineering intern

May 2020 • Sunnyvale, CA

What I liked

I learned immeasurable skills. I gained confidence as a developer and can actually utilize my skills to learn and create things. The company culture was great and the people are great.

What I wish was different

The on boarding process was a bit slow, but not too bad.

Open your mind. It’s hard to get adapted to intern life and you will be forced to learn new things every day. It is hard, but you’ll get through it and come our better!

Sales Intern

June - September 2019 • Redwood City, CA

What I liked

I really liked the culture of the company. My mentor was very invested in my growth as a professional which really helped build my confidence in terms of my relationship-building skills.

What I wish was different

I wish I had the opportunity to actually cold call. I think this is a really valuable experience and genuinely gives you a leg up entering your first sales job.

Advice

Take advantage of the fact that you work at the headquarters office. There are a lot of senior people that you walk by every day that are very willing to sit down and talk to you. The more you get to learn through others, the more beneficial the experience will be.

I wish I had more challenging work that made me learn more.

What you put in is what you get out. Don't be afraid to ask to work with other teams and on other projects.
