Software Solutions Engineer
June - August 2021 • Round Rock, TX
What I liked
I liked how it was a technical job, but wasn't only coding. I am a social person so sitting at my desk all day coding is not always my favorite thing to do. With this role I coded at times, but I was also able to talk to clients and help them with their solution needs.
What I wish was different
I wish it would had been in person. Being remote it was a little difficult to understand the day to day.
Advice
I would say reach out to your mentors and always be ready and willing to ask for help!

Systems engineer
June - August 2021 • Cambridge, MA
What I liked
My team and fellow interns, along with the mentors assigned to me
What I wish was different
Obviously being in person would have been a lot cooler but they did great having it virtual too.
I was able to get into LATAM Dell and meet people there which made my experience a whole lot better getting to sit in meetings in Spanish/collaborate in Spanish. It really brightened my time there and that should be offered as an option outright
Advice
There is a visible effort in trying to diversity the work place but do not expect diversity outside your intern group. Be involved in the ERG meetings and network!
