IOTG Finance Intern

May - August 2018 • Chandler, AZ

What I liked

I liked the environment and the people I worked with. It was a very challenging experience but an incredibly rewarding experience as well. I enjoyed receiving hands on experience in the real world of corporate finance.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have taken the internship position in another city other than AZ. It would have been neat to explore a new territory.

Advice

Apply to internships early!! Many employers look for students that are actively seeking internships for the summer who are applying in the fall. Internships are great ways to obtain real world experience in your field and can help you get a job after graduation. It was neat to see concepts that were taught in class applied to a real life situation in the company. Work on your networking skills and actively seek for opportunities to further your career.

Supply Chain Intern

May - August 2018 • Folsom, CA

What I liked

I had real responsibilities that contributed to Intel successfully getting product to customers. My manager trusted me with full time employee work and gave me good insight to what work would be like as a full time employee. The culture at Intel is awesome--so many smart people who are very willing to share their experience and knowledge with me.

What I wish was different

Advice

Meet as many people as you can and ask them what they do. People love to talk about their work and it's a cool way to see what other work is being done at Intel. Ask lots of questions! It's okay that you don't know, just show a willingness to work.

Signal Processing Intern

May - August 2018 • San Jose, CA

What I liked

I had a really great manager who cared a lot about my personal development. I got a chance to DJ for numerous events and work on a project I was very passionate about.

What I wish was different

My work group was very tight, but I didn't have as much contact with interns in other locations at Intel which would have been nice.

Advice

Focus on your own development and take advantage when you have an intern. If you are being paid, you are an employee so never act like you are "just an intern". People want to help, so building a network is very important for the future.

Marketing Intern

June 2018 • Hillsboro, OR

What I liked

The professionalism with the marketing team. Out of all my years working in multiple industries, my team tops all of my previous experiences when it comes to team collaboration, management and overall fun!

What I wish was different

This internship is unique as it's longer than 3 months, the return offer won't be with my team as they are mostly senior. Would wish their pay grades would be more relative with mine.

Advice

Always network! Especially with my position, it's important to know as many people as possible so you can safely transition out of the internship and land a permanent position in the company!

Supply Line Management Intern

May - August 2019 • Portland, OR

What I liked

I enjoyed the company's focus on process and data-driven decision analysis, the complexity of the technology that I was working with and how it correlates to our procurement strategy as a company, and the support of the team that I worked with. Overall, I learned a great deal about commodity management from my experience, and the implications of global business decisions on the bottom-line of our manufacturing processes.

What I wish was different

Given the company's size, stature, and structure, it would have been wonderful if navigating the hierarchy of teams was made easier to acquire information. Obtaining and analyzing data from different divisions at times may be complicated, especially considering the fact that many of my projects had direct ties to procurement decisions for future R&D. New initiatives within the company have definitely been pushing this forward in the right direction, and I have already noticed positive changes.

Advice

Be absolutely willing to network with different teams, showcase your skills, and learn about the most effective way to digest and condense information to enable effective decision making.

Software Engineering Intern

June - October 2019 • Hudson, MA

What I liked

I greatly enjoyed working with my fellow coworkers. They were always so accepting and flexible, and are what made this experience truly enjoyable. Being able to learn from such experienced members of my field was very exciting. The experience and skills that I have gained from this opportunity have already begun to help me in my education, and it is clearly going to benefit my future careers as well.

What I wish was different

The hiring process and transition to employment were longer than I would have liked.

Advice

For me, the learning curve in my position was incredibly steep, but don't be intimidated by this. Stay determined, learn as much as you can, and don't take this new wealth of knowledge for granted. Ask as many questions as you can, and always be open to learning new things.
