What鈥檚 happening at your internship? We would love to hear what kind of work you are doing!
I鈥檓 a software engineer intern at Adobe. Over the summer, I did IOS development and I worked on the comment component, a component that allow users to comment on documents or filter/resolve the comments across Adobe IOS apps.
Why did you apply for this internship?
I applied for this internship, because it鈥檚 a chance to use what I鈥檝e learned from my computer science major and apply those in the industry. I also love mobile development, and I like how Adobe develops tools for creative people.
What has been your favorite part of this internship?
My favorite part was probably meeting the people. Everyone at the company is very nice and supportive, and they made sure that I wasn鈥檛 overwhelmed with new knowledge and that my effort was recognized. I also enjoyed setting up one-on-one meetings with current employees and learning about the projects that they worked on and got advice. They are also great people that I enjoyed talking to.
Working remotely for the first time? What has that experience been like for you?
Yes, I was working remotely throughout the internship. I met with my teammates and my mentors every day to stay up-to-date with what everyone was doing, and I got to ask questions as soon as they arose. Even though I received lots of support from the people I worked with, I would have preferred working in person. The company flew us to the headquarters and I had the chance to be in person for one week. I met so many people and it was really nice running into random people.
