Business Analyst

July 2018 • Draper, UT

What I liked

Being able to travel

What I wish was different

Actually having a Business Analyst role and not a glorified customer service support role to configure/setup product for client.

Advice

Lots of information specific to the company's software that is not intuitive and very specific. The majority of skills learned/used here are non-transferable as they are specific to the software and its own "language". You do have client interaction, and dealing with that sort of thing; however, that is a skill most people can pick up quickly or already have from previous customer support (or any professional interactions).

Computer Programmer

June - August 2018 • Tysons Corner, VA

What I liked

Everybody was very supportive and helpful throughout my experience. I had great mentors that aided me in how it is like to be a programmer in an actual company and, through it, I learned many technical skills that I will remember and carry on into my next job.

What I wish was different

I wish I had gotten the opportunity to learn more about the area in programming I’m most interested in; however, I appreciated the amazing opportunities they had given me to teach me about multiple areas of programming in just 3 months.

Advice

Do not be afraid to ask questions. The mentors want you to do good and to make the most out of your internship. They want you to learn and will be willing to help you when they can and if you need it.

Sales Intern

June - August 2018 • Tysons Corner, VA

What I liked

The internship was mainly project based which I liked. The projects were very thorough, and I learned a lot about software sales through them. I also really fell in love with the company culture and met amazing people to help make future connections.

What I wish was different

Since the internship was project-based, we didn't get as much experience doing sales calls. I wish I would've gotten more experience doing that.

Advice

Be yourself and work as hard as you can to get involved in a lot of different projects and experiences. Be sure to meet a lot of people and ask lots of questions to learn more!

Accounts Payable Intern

May - September 2018 • Tysons Corner, VA

What I liked

I really enjoyed the "hands-on" nature of the position. It was more of a staff position than the traditional internship position. I worked in tandem with several people throughout the finance department, from tax to general ledger all the way up through the VP/Global Controller. I couldn't have had a better experience as an introduction to large company logistics.

What I wish was different

I can't think of anything that could have been different. It really was a great experience.

Advice

Get ready to work from the get go. Also, take in as much of the atmosphere as possible. Everyone was great to work with and answered ANY question I had.
