Systems Engineering Intern
May - July 2019 • Marlborough, MA
What I liked
I loved the work atmosphere and schedule. Everyone I worked with was very accommodating, helpful and supportive throughout my time there. I felt valued, and the work I did was interesting and taught me a lot. The company also had special tours and events for interns that were nice to participate in.
What I wish was different
Communication before the internship was infrequent and a little vague, making sorting out some details a little difficult. No housing is provided and I wasn't very happy with the rooming situation I found but the rest of the experience was good.
Advice
There was a lot I had to figure out and learn on my own throughout the internship so be prepared to put in extra time when needed to figure out things and don't be afraid to ask for help.

GFS Payroll Intern
June - August 2019 • Farmington, CT
What I liked
I was really shocked with the amount of diversity that was in my department as well as the amount of women in executive roles. The benefits that are offered to employees such as multiple lunch cafeterias, on site gym, and even a company hotel were outstanding.
What I wish was different
I wish that I would've been given a summer project or more hands on work to do. I received minimal work if any at all, and I never had a task to do.
Advice
Please take advantage of the numerous connections that this company offers! I networked with many of my coworkers which ranged from high level executives, contractors, and other interns as well. I ended my internship not just with a return offer but with a family as well.

Systems Engineer
May - December 2019 • Aurora, CO
What I liked
Large company working on complex systems. My program specifically was working with developing the architecture for creating a universal ground station capable of flying a large variety of satellites.
What I wish was different
Being an un-classified intern on a classified program makes gaining valuable experience tough as you're not able to get the full picture. Also, me and my fellow interns were located away from the majority of the team. As such, we didn't experience as much of the day to day collaboration we could have had we been located with them. No one really showed us the ropes or made sure we had work to do, you had to be quite aggressive with outreach in order to get any attention.
Advice

Electrical Engineering co-op
January - August 2019 • Tewksbury, MA
What I liked
• Having the opportunity to work with senior engineers and learn from their experience.
• Having a Friday off every other week by doing 9/80 schedule.
What I wish was different
N/A
Advice
I would say that doing a co-op job during the school years is a great opportunity for all students to learn more and faster about their filed. In addition, co-op job gives a new way to learn things that not easy to learn in school such as working in a team of more than ten people from different departments. Moreover, by working hard and showing the company the ability of learning new things, students might have a big chance of working with that company in the future, which is one of the huge benefits of doing a co-op job.
