Software Engineer Intern

September 2019 - May 2020 • Los Angeles, CA

What I liked

I loved seeing my code in production and working on software that customers interact with every day. I also enjoyed received one-on-one feedback and coaching from the CTO. This feedback greatly improved my programming and the coaching allowed me to flex and enhance my product design skills. The icing on top was getting to observe meetings, from showing customers prototypes to larger strategic planning sessions. In addition to improving my web development skills, this internship helped me see how these skills improve the lives of customers, users, and fellow developers when used correctly.

What I wish was different

I was really swamped with schoolwork during the semesters I was interning, so I wish I had agreed to fewer hours. However, everyone was very understanding and gave me the time I needed to complete tasks or take breaks to keep schoolwork as a priority.

Advice

Be open to learning more about the business side of software development. Working in a company this size allows you to interact with big decision-makers in ways you wouldn't normally get to at a larger company. You'll learn more about what goes into good software than you ever could in a programming class.
