Salesforce

My team is very helpful and supportive of me as an intern, and I feel that I'm truly a member of the team—not "just" an intern. I'm writing code for a feature imminently going into production, as opposed to working on an intern project that may never get used.

For the virtual internship program, the Futureforce team did a great job organizing events ranging from cookouts to networking to executive speaker series.

A downside that comes with being treated just like any other engineer on the team is that they prioritize shipping code over learning as an intern. However, I believe this tradeoff is worth it in the end because the experience is closer to what I could expect for full-time.

Onboarding was a relatively lengthy process, and there were trainings I had to complete that did not seem completely relevant.
