MACOM

Industrial Engineering Intern

May - August 2019 • Lowell, MA

What I liked

They have developed a very well-organized internship program, with over 25 other interns. They had many social events and workshops for the interns and invested a lot of time and energy into making our experience great. We all were able to do very impactful work, typically one main project for the summer, and never expected to just be doing busy-work. It was an amazing learning experience, both technically in the field of semiconductors and also professionally - everyone was eager to help us grow and learn as young adults.

Facilities Intern

May - August 2018 • Lowell, MA

What I liked

Great intern program focussed on networking and getting corporate experience in an international, publicly-traded company

What I wish was different

The program interns were spread across departments with only one person from HR in charge of the program, and her juggling of other things made it a little hectic. She stressed the importance of the program over the work we were doing, so clarity on that with our individual managers would have negated a lot of confusion.

Advice

Even if you know the experience may not be in what you want to do later on in life, it will grant you a new perspective on the work and give you cross-functional experiences that are applicable to other areas in which you would like to work.
