Second Order Effects Inc

Electrical Engineering Intern

June 2019 • El Segundo, CA

What I liked

What makes working at Second Order Effects so much different (and better!) than my previous internship opportunities is how integral you are to the team. At SOE, Interns operate and collaborate in nearly the same way as full time hires, which has given me an experience that closely resembles what my job could be following graduation. As well, with SOE being a consulting company, the breadth of projects you work on give you exposure to every corner of engineering, which has allowed me to better understand what I want my career to be. Most importantly, at SOE you have real responsibilities and become an essential part of any project you work on, so there is no such thing as being a "Coffee-Intern" at Second Order Effects.

What I wish was different

The only thing that I wish could have been different was to have my internship be longer. Because of my school schedule, I could only stay for three months this summer, but would have signed on for the 6 month position that I was offered if I could have made it work.

Advice

If you're interested in Second Order Effects, make sure you're prepared to learn. This isn't an internship for someone who just wants a Summer Job. At SOE you'll be challenged mentally, but as long as you're excited about the position and truly want to learn as much as you can, it's one of the best opportunities you'll get.
