Great experience, fast-paced, other engineers willing to help and answer questions
What I wish was different
Could be repetitive work at times, I’m working on one product line which has its highest demand during the summer
Advice
If there is something you want to work on or somewhere you would like to go (conference, observe a surgery etc…), take initiative! Don’t wait for someone to approach you about it. And get to know as many people as you can, they are willing to share what they work on and what their experience has been like

Pricing Intern
January - July 2019 • Warsaw, IN
What I liked
Loved the pricing team. The managers are very clear with expectations and they always make themselves available to help with projects and questions you might have. The work is invigorating, because of the fast-paced nature of pricing, and everyone in the group really wants to help you do your best. Couldn't have worked for a better group of people!
What I wish was different
The workload fluctuated from time to time, so some days you are almost overloaded with assignments and on others you struggle to find work to complete. But communicating with others to help them out with what they're doing helps to pass the time and give you things to do!
Advice
Take a lot of notes and ask a lot of questions! The more questions you ask, even if you have to repeat them, the more you'll learn and the more you can help out the team!
