Digital Marketing Intern

June 2022 • San Jose, CA

What I liked

I loved how this company truly values the opinions of students and how everyone is honestly so supportive regardless of what position you have in the company. It truly feels like there is very little role hierarchy and it's so fun to be working here. Your ideas are contributing to the actions of the company and it is awesome since managers here really respect your opinions and ideas. The internship pay is also very amazing for interns compared to many other companies, and there are SO many fun intern events that they put on for us.

What I wish was different

I do wish that my manager was located on the west coast but other than that I actually find remote work to be really flexible. Because I was able to work remotely, I could come to the office whenever I wanted which was nice. I was also able to travel to Hawaii during my internship and also was able to go to the AWS summit in 2022 to help the Spot Marketing Team.

Advice

I would totally recommend working here. If you are wondering about how to "stand out" just really show your personality and really emphasize the 'WHY" of why "YOU" want to work here. It is incredibly important to highlight your skillset, but it is also important to show your authenticity. At the end of the day, don't work for a company that doesn't allow you to be yourself.

Solutions Engineer Intern

June 2021 • Durham, NC

What I liked

NetApp has a great intern program and with it being completely remote this year made it as interactive as possible. I was able to participate in many intern led events and group projects while getting to know other interns virtually. The speaker series was also my favorite because every week we would be introduced to an employee that works in a different department within NetApp.

What I wish was different

I wish I was able to do a tour of RTP site but with covid regulations, we are not able to at the moment.

Advice

Network with individuals outside of your department. I have found that it has helped me learn other aspects of how people work within the company.

What I liked

I love the people I worked with, the location was filled with events and daily activities for workers to do in spare/break time, and the workload was usually either relaxing to challenging.

What I wish was different

I am curious what it would have been like to have ended up in a different group in NetApp, other students actually did go to different groups around NetApp. But I am always happy with my little group.

Advice

When you have a question about your work, schedule, etc. don't be afraid to ask people above you for help, NetApp is known for having helpful people and being a wonderful work environment.

Business Analytics Intern

June - August 2019 • Sunnyvale, CA

What I liked

The program offered a lot of ways to get involved outside of the position. A lot of intern events were scheduled, like going to Great America, doing a field day, etc...

What I wish was different

I honestly wish I would have gone into the marketing department, but I loved my position and my works- just not my true passion.

Advice

Definitely take advantage of everything NetApp has to offer to its employees, even as an intern. Don't be afraid to ask your boss to include you on certain things, they almost always say yes.
