Mobile Development Intern
May 2019 • Milwaukee, WI
What I liked
Gained thorough experience in Android and iOS Development. Mentors were phenomenal with providing help.
What I wish was different
There was a period of time when I did not have an app to work on, and I was just learning whatever I wanted. It would have been nice to have some structured work, as in an app to work on. There was talk about getting a raise, but it has been about 4 or 5 months, and still no action has been taken.
Advice
This is a fantastic experience and a great way to gain specific software development experience. Other companies were very impressed with the projects I worked on during my internship.

Human Resource Inten
May 2019 • Milwaukee, WI
What I liked
My coworkers are a joy to work with. It's such a diverse group of people, so I don't feel like an outcast. Everyone is so friendly and willing to help me when I have questions. The culture here is amazing. It makes me comfortable to come into the office every day to work. As an intern, they try their best to teach me many roles as an HR employee, so my experience was super beneficial for someone who didn't have any experience in my field.
What I wish was different
I wish I was able to be more involved in big projects because those experiences would have benefitted me for the future and probably prepare me for my upcoming full-time position. However, they are going to train me, and I have built a few relationships here, so it won't be hard for me to ask any questions.
Advice
You should keep an open-mind when working here because the office is quite small, so people have many errands they need to fulfill as well. They can't always give you work when they need to work themselves. However, this is also a plus because as a student, I was able to do my homework and study at my desk, so it's awesome to not have to work 8-hours straight.

Don't be afraid to do some research on instructors doing research who interests you and reach out to them directly. You never know who is looking for help, and sometimes showing interest is what will get you the position!
