AT&T

• Worked to develop a real solution for the team.
• Sat in on meetings, learning what it was like to work at AT&T.
• Found tons of resources for mentorship.
• Participated in weekly calls for interns to learn from other people within AT&T.
• Met and am still connected with tons of talented managers.

• Very slow, with a corporate culture.
• The onboarding process took multiple days.
• They are restrictive about everything on your computer, so much so that it slows you down when you need a piece of software installed.
• Tons of bureaucracy in just about every process.

I was the only E&O intern in my Austin office, and there were no local events for me to be a part of. The corporate office had events for the 100 interns there, but the remote AT&T locations (where I was) had very little to offer. I was never brought out to lunch my whole time there, which was very disappointing. I felt alone most of the time because everyone in the Austin office was 15+ years older than me.
