I got to focus on a lot of real big problems, working with large datasets and getting to experiment with lots of different technologies.
What I wish was different
More group projects between interns would have helped the experience.
Advice
Learn as much as you can. Try new things as the managers are willing to help.

What I liked
I loved the community that was formed of all the interns- it was clear that their internship program was well established and aimed to provide us with a bounty of resources and time to ramp up.
What I wish was different
I wish it were longer than 12 weeks. I wish UVA offered co-op programs.
Advice
Say yes to everything. Learn something, and try new things. Don't be afraid to ask questions.

Explore Intern
June - September 2017 • Redmond, WA
What I liked
pod structure (worked with 2 other interns), exposure to diverse roles/fields within the company
What I wish was different
the actual work had a steep learning curve, and it took me a long time to feel comfortable in the codebase (I was on the .NET team)- this varies a LOT team to team though!
Advice
the explore internship is great for exploring the PM and software roles and to spend time learning more about the industry in general!
