Cloud network engineer

What I liked

Well rounded internship. Gained technical skills, soft skills, and leadership skills

What I wish was different

I’d love if the supervisor was more present

Advice

You have to do a lot of work outside of work hours if you want to be successful. 10 weeks is not a long time to complete a project.

Accounting Intern

August 2019 • Lake Mary, FL

What I liked

I liked the culture of the firm and the work life-balance was perfect. There were some days every week that the staffs could work from their home. Some of the staffs were really helpful and supportive. The environment was very friendly. It has been a great learning experience.

What I wish was different

I wish I had access to all the training resources that the full-time employee had and I wish that getting into system and the delivery of applications that was required for operations was much easier and simpler.

Advice

Learn as much as you can. Enjoy your time in the firm. Do your best and never hesitate to ask questions and connect with people around. Be accountable for your actions and be courteous. It will take you long distance.

Large company with good brand recognition will make it easier to get interviews with other companies later in your career

What I wish was different

Advancement at Verizon depends greatly on the team you work for. Often advancements are based more on the length of employment rather than merit.

Advice

Try to ensure that the manager and team you are working with puts importance on personal growth. It will help you more in the long run.

RF and Wireless engineer

June - August 2018 • Tempe, AZ

What I liked

It was close to school.

What I wish was different

Entire experience was very poor. Poor management. Very unorganized. Did not receive last weeks paycheck.

Avoid Verizon, consider other competitors. Having worked at their largest competitor in an internship role, there are much better companies.

Financial Operations Intern

June - August 2018 • Tulsa, OK

What I liked

Everyone I met was incredibly knowledgeable and willing to help anytime any of the interns had questions. We had our own project and made a measurable impact on the company.

What I wish was different

There was a lot of down time in the beginning because systems access took so long. I wish there had been more to do to fill the time.

Advice

Go in with an open mind and try to learn the big picture. At Verizon, it's easy to get lost in the details because they have such a large operation, but seeing how everything works together is one of the coolest parts of the process.

IT - Security Intern

June - August 2017 • Basking Ridge, NJ

What I liked

I enjoyed working on my team, and my manager was great. I was introduced to something I had no experience with and ended up loving it.

What I wish was different

After your initial project is done, there weren't any mechanisms for assigning new ones. There ended up being a lot of sitting around. They say that next year it will be better though. Also, we had some housing issues which is understandable when you are living with three other strangers.

Advice

Be assertive with your manager. If you are bored, tell your manager. They want to work with you and help you succeed, but they don't know unless you tell them. When I approached my manager for more work, within 10 minutes I had a new assignment.
