Software Developer Intern
May - August 2019 • Fairfax, VA
What I liked
I really enjoyed the people I worked with. I was on a small team working on a full-stack application with technologies that I had never used before. My team members were always looking to support/encourage me with the task and were always willing to extend a helping hand. The project I was working on turned out to be an extremely useful web application for the team and I had a great experience launching the app and then brainstorming future applications for it.
What I wish was different
I wish that there was a more set structure to the internship. I expected there to be a set project for me coming in but I was met with the challenge of there not really being any structure at all to the internship. The internship was completely up to me and what I wanted to make of it. This resulted in a lot of self-initiative, which isn't bad in itself but it was not what I was expecting.
Advice
I would recommend that you really take the time to get to know the people you work with. They all have extensive backgrounds, are usually very willing to talk/help out, and can share invaluable experiences about what they went through to get to where they are. Specifically for me, I spent a lot of time asking about what life was like as a software developer at Northrop Grumman.

Engineering Intern

What I liked
Role allowed me to utilize and expand on knowledge gained from my classes in new and exciting ways.

Coworkers were very nice and easy to work with.

As a co-op/internship, I wish I had gotten experience at a company that was more different from the company that I worked for previously, as I believe it would have rounded out my education better.
Advice
Be sure to advocate for what kind of assignments or work you would like to complete.

Software Engineering Intern
May - August 2019 • Huntsville, AL
What I liked
Nice office, interesting projects to work on.
What I wish was different
There was not a lot of technical work to be done at first, and the internship experience itself was not as polished as you might expect at other locations hosting interns at different companies. I did not learn as much as I'd expect, and used a lot of the knowledge I had already.
Advice
Learn as much as you can while you can!
