Technology Intern

June - August 2023 • Richmond, VA

What I liked

I was embedded into a product team and started working immediately. My team was extremely welcoming, and I would have not changed anything. I learned so much and made an actual impact on the product and the company.

What I wish was different

Honestly just that it had been longer. I really enjoyed my work and the people every day that I was there.

Advice

Balance your time with your team and your fellow interns. For me, my team was remote, so all my social interaction occurred with the other interns, which I really enjoyed and made some wonderful friendships.
