Cisco

Data Analyst Intern

May - August 2021 • San Jose, CA

What I liked

Meeting some high up execs of Cisco was really cool, and getting to work with other interns was really valuable

What I wish was different

Not a lot of hard core data science mentorship, a lot of DS learning was self-driven

Advice

Reach out to more Cisco employees whose interests align with yours

Software Engineer Intern

June - August 2020 • New York City, NY

What I liked

My internship experience with Cisco was amazing. I was working on full-stack web development and was able to create on my own Webex integration feature from start to finish. My team was young and majority female engineers, which is pretty rare for tech roles, and they constantly motivated me to succeed.

What I wish was different

It was a remote internship due to COVID, so I wish I was able to work in the San Jose office. I wasn't able to connect with other interns as much since I was the only intern on my team, and there weren't many opportunities to meet other students my age.

Advice

Be proactive and take initiative! Everyone at Cisco was more than willing to help me out if I ever had a problem or even tell me about their experiences at the company. Even though you are an intern, you can make a large impact on your team and the company.

What I wish was different

The content of the internship wasn't necessarily my main interest.

Software Engineer Intern

May - August 2021 • San Jose, CA

What I liked

I really enjoyed the company culture and the opportunities that I had to learn and grow my skills. I had mentors, worked on projects for the team, and delivered presentations to executives.

What I wish was different

I wish that this opportunity was not remote so that I could see the Cisco campus in San Jose, CA. However, because of COVID-19, that was not possible.

Advice

Be prepared to meet and make connections with amazing people at Cisco! Do not be afraid to share your ideas because people there will hear you and you will feel included!
