Division 4 Intern - Great Experience - Engineering Co-Op MIT Lincoln Laboratory Employee Review

- In terms of resources there are very few places that can compare to Lincoln. No one batted an eye when I requested higher resolution/dual monitors, or when I requested access to their parallel computing grid. As an intern I even got to go on an all expenses paid business trip. - People treat each other as equals and coworkers, what I mean by that is that even though I was just an intern (and the tech staff/associate staff were giving me tasks) it was always a two way street. They always valued my input and asked for my help on several occasions. - I was given real work, that mattered, and that was going into the final product. This was huge for me, at past internships I was given dead end tasks that were clearly going nowhere. My code is still being used by the team at lincoln! - Work life balance, there was no baby sitting. People had a reasonable amount of work and got there work done and were responsible. Most people in my team came in at 830 and left by 5. - Experts everywhere, there are experts in every field at lincoln. This was especially cool as an intern. If you were unsure about what you wanted to do, you could just walk in to other divisions/groups and talk to them about what they do. - This one might sound silly but the office layout was really cool compared to other places. You're usually placed in an office with 2-3 others and if you ever have questions for each other your sitting right there. I though this was way better than the cubicle format a lot of other places used.
