Financial Leadership Development Program Intern

May - August 2017 • Alpharetta, GA

What I liked

New location, with stipend. Became proficient with excel and automation. Given ownership over my projects and challenging, value-add work.

What I wish was different

A better work culture for interns - had to work lots of overtime despite technically not being allowed to, just to finish projects assigned.

Advice

Meet with people outside of your immediate projects to learn more. Don't be afraid to voice your ideas as an intern - it's a perfect time to learn how receptive people are to your ideas and how you can articulate/plan them better moving forward. Internships provide a great low-risk environment for learning, which is hard to realize when you're in them but is ideal to take advantage of.

Software Engineer

January - August 2019 • Cincinnati, OH

What I liked

Siemens offers an amazing working environment. It is professional enough to keep me on top of my work but relaxed enough for me to take a break and chat with friends if I need to. Because Siemens employs so many co-ops, it is very easy to meet other students and gain new friends. I always had a mentor who took the time to make sure I understood what I need to, and was happy to answer my questions. I always felt like my work was important and that my peers/team members valued my work and input.

What I wish was different

Advice

You will hardly ever get anything you do not ask for. If you see an opportunity arise that you want to take advantage/be a part of then ask to do so. Things will not be handed to you, but more often than not, others are happy to help you get the things you want. And NEVER be afraid to ask a question!

Procurement Assistant Intern

May - August 2020 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I really enjoyed my experience because of the people I was working with. They were extremely helpful in helping me adjust to this virtual environment while also jumping straight into projects they were leading. I was able to learn a lot about the company as well as the supply chain for the rail industry. It was great to actually apply the ideas and topics I learned about in school.

What I wish was different

I wished that the internship was not virtual as I would have been able to talk to more people, work on more projects, and really connect with my co-workers. I was beginning to work on some interesting projects for which I ran out of time for so I do wish I was able to complete those projects.

Advice

One piece of advice I would share would be to ask as many questions as you have. Whether it is to get more information about a process/project or it is to talk to someone in a different department, the best way to succeed or actually get the full experience is to be curious and learn as much as you can.

Business Operations Intern

January - May 2022 • Milford, OH

What I liked

The fun challenge of being tested constantly and not being graded on something. It was a long process, but ultimately one of the most rewarding experiences. It was tough. However, I learned so many applicable skills that translate into the classroom and make them more interesting.

What I wish was different

I think there should be mandatory work life balance training, as I found myself extremely burnt out at points. The stress of "real life" can be unnerving at first, but consistency is key.

Advice

Nothing is permanent - Nothing is the end all be all. Just start - Sometimes, just starting on something that seems daunting can help so much In general, work is not always going full steam ahead, you need breaks, and don't feel pressured to be perfect on the first try. Ask questions too because there are so many good people out there who want you to succeed!
