It gave me great experience in a corporate environment. There were lots of opportunities to work on problem-solving skills. Everyone I worked with was friendly and wanted me to leave the internship with new skills.
What I wish was different
I wish my job responsibilities had more of an impact on the company.
Advice
Make sure you are comfortable with communicating with all of your co-workers (even those who are your superiors).
