Apps ops

My position! I would've liked it to be anything related to software engineering or web applications.

Be you; think differently but behave as the other if you want to keep the job.

Tech Intern

June - August 2021 • Parsippany-Troy Hills, NJ

What I liked

I learned an immense amount about the industry I am looking to go into. My mentors were welcoming, instructive, and encouraging throughout the entirety of the internship. I felt inspired to work hard because I was surrounded by intelligent individuals who were tacitly passionate about their field. I was encouraged to join employee resource groups to feel included in the community and to meet other interns. The company employees went above and beyond to make their experience the best it could be while being virtual.

What I wish was different

I know this was out of everyone's control but I wish the internship could have been in person to be able to speak face-to-face with my mentors and other interns. However, a virtual internship made me appreciate collaborative work environments and taught me new skills about efficiently working online.

Advice

One thing I noticed was that my mentor did not invite me to certain meetings due to fear of me becoming bored with the information being discussed. However, as an intern and a student, I am eager to observe any and all types of meetings to get a true feel for the corporate environment and day-to-day life. That being said, keep doing what you are doing because it was an amazing experience for me.

Sales Enablement Intern

June - August 2021 • Champlin, MN

What I liked

I enjoyed all of the opportunities that being a part of a large internship program gave me. With over 200 interns, HR had put together so many great events that helped us understand corporate environment and the payments industry. I felt like I was making a difference, and that I was of benefit to the company. Fiserv also did a wonderful job in immersing me in the company in a remote environment.

What I wish was different

I really have no complaint- although I wish I could have met my team in person, since this position was remote.

Advice

Connect with everyone you have the chance to work with, and don't be afraid to ask questions. Make the absolute most out of your experience.

Business Analyst Intern

June - December 2019 • Frisco, TX

What I liked

I liked the intern program structure and I liked the people. There were a lot of resources provided to interns and many opportunities to explore what you want to do.

What I wish was different

The work wasn’t exactly what I was expecting for a business analyst intern it was more research and technical documentation based than data analysis. It was different than what I had learned in class.

Advice

Be a sponge and take initiative. Don’t wait for other people to give you work or opportunities. Take it on your own.

What I wish was different

Product Management Intern

June - August 2018 • Omaha, NE

What I liked

First Data is a great company. I learned so much more in this environment than I could have else where. My manager allowed me to push myself out of my comfort zone. My first summer with the company was more educational, as the second summer was much more hands on and several more projects. Overall, it was a great experience.

What I wish was different

Advice

I would recommend to anyone to push yourself out of your comfort zone. Going into my first summer at FD, I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my degree and I was very nervous. Your manager will give you an opportunity to show your true potential.

Software Engineer Intern

June - August 2018 • Atlanta, GA

What I liked

I worked on a very front-end, HCI project which was right up my alley. I made an Alexa skill and there’s a ton of documentation for that which made it easy to learn from scratch. I learned a lot about designing software for users. My boss and co-workers were very fun.

What I wish was different

There were too many people on my team, so sometimes some people didn’t have enough work. I made sure to give myself something to do, though.

Advice

I got this job fairly late in the game (Spring Quarter) by reaching out to my personal network. Use your personal connections because the tech recruiting process can be daunting and disheartening.

June - August 2018 • Omaha, NE

What I liked

I was exposed to many different business operations from my two managers. I was able to work on a group project with other interns that was presented to top executives of the company and make a difference in the company. I was paired with a mentor to help and befriend me during my months working.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have done more valuable work for the company.

Ask for work/exposure to things and don't be afraid to try!

Business Process Analyst Intern

May 2019 • Alpharetta, GA

What I liked

I loved the culture! The HR onboarding for Summer interns did an amazing job of showing off the company as a whole, so you're not just stuck in the role of your internship. We had a great experience in working as a whole internship class to deliver on a large corporate initiative.

What I wish was different

The onboarding for the specific business unit I was interning at was a little rigid. It took a while to get a good grasp of the business unit as a whole, which made some of the initial project work confusing.

Advice

Be open to learning! I had a previous internship before this one and I was still lost during my time here. I would recommend researching the Fintech industry, so you can have a better understanding of what the products of Fiserv do. That will definitely help trickle down to how you view your role and the company.
