What I liked
I loved exploring the nearby area. San Jose and San Francisco have an amazing tech vibe. I also loved visiting California's many national parks and hiking there. The internship was fine and served its purpose of helping me determine where I want to go in CS.
What I wish was different
I wish I had received my own project to work on. I never felt like I contributed enough to the company.
Advice
Ask for more work. It is great experience and it gives you a lot to talk about during interviews.

Software Engineer Intern
May - August 2021 • San Jose, CA
What I liked
I really enjoyed the company culture and the opportunities that I had to learn and grow my skills. I had mentors, worked on projects for the team, and delivered presentations to executives.
What I wish was different
I wish that this opportunity was not remote so that I could see the Cisco campus in San Jose, CA. However, because of COVID-19, that was not possible.
Advice
Be prepared to meet and make connections with amazing people at Cisco! Do not be afraid to share your ideas because people there will hear you and you will feel included!
