Engineering Intern

October 2016 • Kalamazoo, MI

What I liked

I like the amount of responsibility that I hold within the company and the leadership experience that I have gained over the past two years.

What I wish was different

I wish that collaboration between certain departments would have been more effective. Certain departments had much more resources than Engineering, but Engineering tended to have a much higher work load that could have been resolved with the aid from other departments (i.e. Quality)

Advice

It's important to do what's right. There are situations that aren't addressed in a standard operating procedure, and your critical thinking skills and quick responses will determine your success in any job.
