"Very cool engineering task and a my mananger/mentor was great" Position: Engineering Intern Location: El Segundo, CA. Pay: $$25/hour Duration: 12 weeks Review posted on 7/22/2011

I gained real world experience: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree My boss treated me with respect: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree I enjoyed my fellow co-workers: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree The work I performed was interesting: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree I feel better positioned to gain a fulltime job: 1 2 3 4 5 Agree Overall, I was satisfied with my internship: 1 2 3 4 5

Pros: I worked on a very cool UI project with a great team. Honestly, I was kind of surprised at how interesting the technology was and my team was brilliant-smart. My direct manager/boss/mentor always took time out of his day to explain projects to me and made sure I had a shot at solving complex problems without just telling me how things worked. I really liked the way he treated me. DirectTV did a great job organizing and making the internship program fun. Cons: I think engineering is kind of hit or miss depending on the department you are put into. Advice for other students: Don't overlook DirectTV, it's a solid company that is clearly investing resources/time in their internship program.

Pros: - Great intern events were you get to meet all the other summer interns. I wasn't from the area, so this allowed me to make some friends for the weekends/lunch. - Access to mgmt and key execs. - Great boss, she rocked! - DirecTV takes pride in this program, you can tell. - Paid. Cons: Work was mostly good, but there were some times where I was doing routine tasks or didn't have too much to do. I wish I got to see more of the creative side. Advice for other students: Glad I did this with DirecTV.
