Rocket

Escrow Accounting Intern

June - August 2020 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

The company made a lot of effort to ensure the virtual experience went smoothly for interns

What I wish was different

I wish I hadn’t been the only intern on my team so I had more people my age to collaborate with

Advice

If you’re working a virtual internship, make sure you take time to step away from your computer during the day so you don’t overwork yourself

UX Writer Intern

June - August 2023 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

I went into this internship without any experience in UX writing, and came out on the other side deciding it would be the career path I want to pursue. As an intern, I had a supportive team whom I could get feedback and advice from, and who were endlessly patient with me as I learned and grew. My mentor also helped me every step of the way, whether it was with an assignment, my assigned summer project, understanding and practicing UX writing and content design, or rebuilding my portfolio at the end of the internship. An internship at Rocket is the ideal place to explore potential career paths, develop new skills, and connect with people who care about you, your personal goals, and your future. I could not have asked for a better internship!

What I wish was different

The majority of the social events for interns happen on-site, so it can be difficult to meet other interns if you are working remotely. I wish there had been more virtual meet-ups for remote interns, since there was only one toward the end of the internship. The internship was still very fulfilling as a remote intern, but I would recommend working hybrid or on-site to get the most out of it.

Advice

Don't be afraid to apply to a Rocket internship. I almost didn't apply because I had never done UX writing or content design before and believed I wouldn't qualify, but I was wrong. I encourage you to apply if you have any related experience in the field of the internship of your choice. The teams at Rocket want you to develop new skills and grow, and will be patient and help you throughout the learning process.

BI Engineer Intern

May - August 2017 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

Work hours had flexibility, they cared about your success and NEVER minded if you asked a question, no matter how small it feels. I learned how to write TSQL from the ground up, and by the end was building entire reports for hundreds of clients at a time.
