Yaskawa gave me ample opportunity to expand my knowledge base, and provided me valuable and relevant workplace experience.
What I wish was different
There was a steep learning curve regarding company technology. I wished I was given an opportunity to ease into the position.
Advice
Don't be afraid to ask for clarification or help on a given task. Your seniors and co-workers understand the situation you are in, and are more than willing to help you out.

Getting to work in an office space everyday and make those connections with fellow employees would have been beneficial.

I really enjoyed the department. My manager was awesome and was always willing to talk about the company and operations. My co workers were among the best I've worked with to date. The office was incredibly relaxed, while maintaining professional courtesy at all times. The dress code was ideal.

Due to my job description I worked at a desk most of the day. Not really a way to change that, but this is something I didn't enjoy.
Advice
Make a point to go out of your way to find work.
