I like working as a team and working hard with my boss and coworkers to get the job done as smoothly and as fast as possible.
What I wish was different
For me, I don't think I really wish anything should have been different. I think everything was as perfect as it could be.
Advice
One piece of advice I would share about this experience is to be as respectful as you can because you don't know what you may get in return.

software driver intern
January - August 2020 • Rockleigh, NJ
What I liked
Team members were really friendly and open to help. You also had time to physically test your code instead of waiting because your contribution was part of a whole. And lastly the coffee maker there is magical.
What I wish was different
Demo projects where using all communication protocols to establish a connection.
Advice
You do real work. Make sure you know your stuff even if you are slow at it. And since you are working on real projects, ask and re-ask for confirmation that you have taken the right steps to document, create, pass, and or submit your work.

Firmware Engineering Intern
January - August 2020 • Plano, TX
What I liked
Crestron provided just what I was looking for, the opportunity to expand my knowledge and experience in the Computer Science and Engineering field for consumer electronics.
The company had a welcoming environment with employees that were more than happy to work together in finding solutions to problems.
The hours were flexible with being a student and the pay was fair.
What I wish was different
One downside was my manager worked in a different office across the country so any questions or conversations were always done remotely which sometimes made it difficult to demonstrate certain things.
COVID-19 also hit during my internship which made the rest of the internship remote where before I was in the office. This is not the company's fault but it definitely changed the quality of experience that I had received.
Advice
I would suggest that anyone looking for an internship should thoroughly research the position they are applying for and sell yourself when it comes time for the interview. Many companies like Crestron are looking for self-motivated, confident, and knowledgeable students.

What I wish was different
More traveling with the job
Advice
Great opportunity to learn how to work in cross functional teams. Make sure to really expand your network while interning and don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. The most helpful thing I did while interning with Crestron was to really focus on building relationships and showing that I cared about what I was doing.
