Pros

Great people were willing to take the time and interest in helping me develop as an intern. The z/OS mainframe OS is a complex and challenging system to work with, and it is very interesting.

Many young people and interns starting brought lots of new ideas and a younger culture into the company. The company was undergoing a transformation, which was fun to be a part of.

Managers allowed time for us to explore career options outside of our normal workday, and there were always many extra-curricular different things happening on-site, ranging from:

  • A 3D printer building contest
  • Chances to meet with executives
  • Luncheons
  • Education
  • Field days
  • Starbucks coffee breaks
  • And more.

The internship allowed me to get the best out of my time and learn a great deal in just a short summer.

Cons

It would be nice to have free coffee, but they have many drinks you can buy with pocket change.
