GD was a wonderful place to work. The people in particular were great to work with, and made a great environment.
What I wish was different
The terms used in the job were hard to adapt to, with so many different acronyms and terms to learn...
Advice
Try to get jobs that allow you to get experience in a lot of different areas to determine what you like to do.

Software Systems Engineer
January - August 2020 • Pittsfield, MA
What I liked
Everyone is very friendly! Lots of heads-down work, but when it comes time to collaborate teams are productive and fun. Everyone is great about answering questions too.
Every other Friday off and good pay, and lots of opportunities to pursue whatever work and projects you are interested in or take courses and training!
What I wish was different
I wish I had asked for feedback and advice earlier on. Work with my team and program was interesting and engaging but I wish there had been more intern events and opportunities to work and meet with other interns
Advice
Ask connections to tell you about the company's history and facilities

This internship allowed me to branch out and experience a field I had not considered before. Even as a remote internship, I was able to improve my professional skills and work with very experienced individuals at the company!
