I liked learning about a new industry, and the workings of a big company.
What I wish was different
I wish I had been given more to do - I often found myself being very bored.
Advice
Make sure that you like two of the following: the location, the people, and the job. I didn't enjoy the job very much, but I loved the location and the people and that made it a worthwhile experience.

Software Engineer Int
May - August 2019 • Atlanta, GA
What I liked
My experience with Honeywell was fantastic. I gained valuable experience in the industry, working on real projects along the full-time employees and meeting brilliant people from around the world. I was working on full-stack web development tasks utilizing industry standard tools and frameworks. They had fun activities every month for the interns and various ways to get involved at the ATL office.
What I wish was different
I learned that the software engineering role is not for me, but again this was such valuable information.
Advice
I learned about Honeywell and their internship opportunities through the Grace Hopper Celebration for Women in Computing and for any women in tech I highly recommend attending!

Materials Planner Intern
May - August 2019 • Plymouth, MN

What I wish was different
I wanted to get more immersed into the production planning side of the job by helping on the production floor.
Advice
Be curious. Learn as much as you can during your internships. They are very valuable to your education and future career. Also, don't be afraid to share your own ideas. Companies hire interns because interns provide a fresh perspective and are extremely beneficial to the company.

Software Engineer Intern
June - August 2019 • Phoenix, AZ
What I liked
Experience working on a DevOps team
What I wish was different
The pay and more well put together internship experience. Also the work environment wasn't very updated to software engineering work environments now and days
Advice
If you don't care too much about working in old school cubicles it's a nice place to intern. The heat in the middle of the summer is pretty unbearable but you will survive

Additive manufacturing design engineer
May - August 2019 • Phoenix, AZ

A lot of the projects were centered around my skills sets. However, there were also projects that I was assigned that developed new skills. My co workers were very supportive and helpful, all the while giving me control over the projects I was tasked with.
What I wish was different
Nothing really. I was well supported throughout the internship.
Advice
If you find something interesting in the company that you want to work on, do not be afraid to request this.

Financial Analyst Intern
June - August 2019 • Fort Mill, SC
What I liked
I really enjoyed that they allowed us to work on meaningful projects throughout the course of the summer. We were not micromanaged and were granted responsibility and had to hold ourselves accountable.
What I wish was different
Admittedly, as nice as it was to not be micromanaged, I would have enjoyed additional time with my manager. It would have been nice to gain a greater understand of what they were doing in their role.
Advice
Make the most of it. Take it seriously and do everything that you can while you are there. A lot of these large companies want to extend full time offers. I ended up turning mine down for personal reasons, but to have been offered was wonderful nonetheless.

What I liked
I really enjoyed the project I was working on. It is for a new military aircraft so I got to work on a pretty cutting edge project which was really exciting.

Make the most out of the situation you are in and focus on the positive aspects.

Finance Intern
June - August 2018 • Phoenix, AZ
What I liked
There was so much networking with individuals at the company. Everyone from peers a few years out of college up to the CEO and CFO. I worked on a project for the whole summer and at the end presented it to the executive. The CFO complimented my project and told me how much it would be used to benefit the company. It good to know that even as an intern I was making a difference!
What I wish was different
I wish I could have had more technical training in down time on applications currently used in business such as Tableau, SAP, etc to prepare me to begin full-time.
Advice
Do not be afraid to get out of your bubble. Sit at the big table with the executives even if you are just shadowing. It shows you want to be there and you are willing to make the effort. Managers will take notice.
