Micro Focus

Software Engineer

December 2018 • Provo, UT

What I liked

I love the work life balance and being treated like a human being rather then just another employee. I feel like I am gaining marketable skills that will help me in my career for years to come. I am also making great connections with colleagues that I'll take with me for the rest of my career.

What I wish was different

I don't have many complaints with where I am at. Sometimes the work can become routine but I do my best to spice it up and keep it interesting.

Advice

I think it's always important to put your head down and work hard. Management is always happy with those that accomplish their goals. Its also important to be always learning. If you don't learn in this field you get left behind quickly.

Software Engineer Intern

August 2018 • Provo, UT

What I liked

This is a great place to work while going to school as an intern. They are very flexible with your schedule, and work with your school schedule. I have also been able to take days off if I have appointments I need to go to. You will also receive access to some health care for people working 20+ hrs a week, and they pay you for half a day on holidays. The people are very helpful, and it is a great place to gain real world experience for the field. They do like to hire interns if there are job openings, though you will need to wait until your about a year away from graduation before they will look at you seriously.

What I wish was different

I wish they would hire interns full time even if you have several years left in school. You will have to look elsewhere if you want a regular full time job in the field while going to school. I would have liked to switch projects if there was an opening.

Advice

Own your time here at Micro Focus. Try to learn as much as possible, and if you have some free time learn new things. Communicate well with your supervisor about how you are doing, and where you want to go in the future. Don't forget to network with other co-workers. There are a lot of people that have been here 5+ years, but there are many who move on to other companies.
