Cisco

I am currently a summer intern at Cisco. In terms of summer internships, I can really say that they have given me real hands-on experience with real responsibility.

I came in barely knowing what a network/router was. I feel that I have been able to learn a lot from my co-workers, who are always more than willing to help me whenever I have a problem.

My pay is very good compared to what most of my friends are making. If I were to work overtime, they would give me time and a half. It also looks good on a resume.

Looking around, it seems that people (especially with pending deadlines) put in a lot of overtime and complain that they aren't properly compensated for it. It's also tough because there are some crazy people who will work 80 hours a week, and that will put pressure on everyone else to step it up.

I think that you're doing a good job.
