I had a great experience in which I learned a lot about supply chain function and its relation to the business as a whole. I met great mentors who helped me set and reach goals and allowed me to develop professionally.

Mechanical Engineering Intern

What I liked
LA is a fun city, although El Segundo is pretty south of the city.
What I wish was different
I wish interns had legitimate work to do. I wasn't give any real projects and my manager was not helpful. Most interns aren't given any security clearance, so 80% of the projects are immediately inaccessible.
Advice
Don't intern here if you're ambitious and want to be challenged. It's a better place for job security and slow comfortable living.

Project Engineer Intern
June - November 2018 • Phoenix, AZ
What I liked
It was a good first time intern position and the company has positions offered for any type of student; the student's major does not have to be engineering or business.
What I wish was different
I wish I had more to work and meaningful work to do. The work I was doing was also unrelated to my major because I am majoring in robotics engineering.
Advice
Take advantage of the experience because you never know when it might end. There are plenty of opportunities to jump on, all it takes is for you to notice them and act on them.

Electrical Engineering co-op
January - August 2019 • Tewksbury, MA
What I liked
• Having the opportunity to work with senior engineers and learn from their experience.
• Having a Friday off every other week by doing 9/80 schedule.

Advice
I would say that doing a co-op job during the school years is a great opportunity for all students to learn more and faster about their filed. In addition, co-op job gives a new way to learn things that not easy to learn in school such as working in a team of more than ten people from different departments. Moreover, by working hard and showing the company the ability of learning new things, students might have a big chance of working with that company in the future, which is one of the huge benefits of doing a co-op job.

What I liked
A few of the things I liked about working at UTC was the people I worked with. The community in the office I worked in was very inviting and welcoming. Another thing I enjoyed was the work I was doing. It was very interesting to see the process of getting a part of an engine that is undergoing maintenance.
What I wish was different
I wish that the company was a little more organized when it came to getting the technology needed to complete my work. It took me almost my whole internship to get a monitor that I ordered on my first day of work.
Advice
Get to know everyone on the office floor. They may be able to help down the road with future problems and establishing a relationship early will help.

Nothing.

Internships are important. I didn't get an internship with my first bachelor's degree and it only hurt me while looking for a full time job after college.

Systems Engineering Intern
May - July 2019 • Marlborough, MA
What I liked
I loved the work atmosphere and schedule. Everyone I worked with was very accommodating, helpful and supportive throughout my time there. I felt valued, and the work I did was interesting and taught me a lot. The company also had special tours and events for interns that were nice to participate in.
What I wish was different
Communication before the internship was infrequent and a little vague, making sorting out some details a little difficult. No housing is provided and I wasn't very happy with the rooming situation I found but the rest of the experience was good.
Advice
There was a lot I had to figure out and learn on my own throughout the internship so be prepared to put in extra time when needed to figure out things and don't be afraid to ask for help.

Supply Chain Intern
June - August 2020 • Dallas, TX
What I liked
It was very impressive and appreciated that Raytheon kept and adapted the intern program during the pandemic. Even going online, Raytheon still gave me REAL work that a full time associate would be responsible for. As a supply chain intern on a project management team, I was able to practice direct communication with suppliers and other internal stakeholders. My fellow interns also expressed that they were being engaged in critical, engaging projects that were impacting the business. This was a very unique and valuable experience as most internships give you busy work or you’re bored half the time. Everyone I worked with was insightful and wanted to not only get to know you, but help you get to know the company overall because it is a very large organization.
What I wish was different
Financials for housing relocation we’re very generous, but it would have been helpful to have a guide for short term rentals.
Advice
In the online environment, make the most of opportunities to network by reaching out to young professionals in positions that may interest you. Not only will you get to hear about the day to day of a future full time position, but you’ll be on their radar if they hear of any openings.
