Hi everyone,

I am currently working at Independence Blue Cross- Business Technology Services (BTS) Department in the PMO as an Intern. At Independence I don’y have one specific role but many. On a daily basis, I handle support log tickets to give people access to report sites, help with on boarding new hires, financial adjustments, Project Quality Assurance and much more. I love that I am exposed to all aspects of the BTS department because it gives me an idea of what I want to do once I graduate. I enjoy the PMO and eventually want to get a full time job at Independence but I am not sure how to go about it since the internship ends March 30th and I don’t graduate until May 10th. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone,
I worked at PwC as an Enterprise Systems Solutions Intern in their Risk Assurance practice. During my internship, I worked a lot with SAP to test controls set up at clients to optimize their audit processes. I also used SAP to test clients’ competencies in various rule set functions. In addition, I spent some time working with RevPro, a revenue tracking and management system, which I helped to implement at a client to adhere to the new ASC 606 standards. In between, I also worked on data visualization projects, working with Tableau and Visio to demonstrate my department’s impact on business processes for the purpose of winning new clients and/or work.

Hello everyone,
I worked at Protiviti as a Security and Privacy intern in their Technology Consulting solution. During the internship, I worked on a variety of projects. My first project was a Cloud Risk Assessment that basically tried to ensure that the client adheres to the industry standards. My next few projects involved some Penetration Testing observations as well as validation testing. During the testing, I had to test each of the errors that came up during the vulnerability scans and categorize those errors by their risk factor. I got to use a variety of Linux security tools and used Microsoft Excel to collect and organize my data. Additionally, I’ve done manual google crawling to find as much information about a client as possible without leaving a trace on their tracking systems. At the end of each project, I had to help to write the report that went to the upper management.

Hi Everyone!
My internship was at Liberty Mutal Insurance at their headquarters in Boston, MA. I worked within their corporate internal audit group as an IT Audit intern. Throughout the internship, I worked on five different audits. These audits were mainly on the Unix/ Linux servers and databases. Although we learned about windows enterprise architecture in the MIS2501 class, the other intern in my group was assigned to the windows audits. Since I was an intern, I mainly focused on testwork of certain applications, servers, and databases. I also communicated records of audit concern in status meetings and formal reports. It was an interesting internship because I was also able to communicate with external auditors from Ernst and Young through walkthroughs and other forms of communication. I learned a great deal in my internship and I am excited to hear how everyone else’s go!

Hello All,
My internship is at Turn 5, located in Malvern, PA. Our company focuses on selling after market car parts to clients through multiple ecommerce websites. I’m working in the business intelligence department as an a business intelligence analyst. My job responsibilities are primarily centered around making our databases run more efficiently, solving business problems related to data and creating more efficient methods of acquiring data. The programs we use are T-SQL and Tableau, to conduct ETL and then analyze data. So far I’ve created about four Tableau dashboards, and written five procedures in T-SQL. Overall, T-SQL is more interesting to me, because it’s about problem solving, rather than explaining my solution to the rest of the business.

Hello Everyone,
My internship for this semester will be with Aramark, located in Philadelphia, PA. Aramark is one of the world’s biggest hospitality companies. They operate in several different divisions such as, University Dining, Business Dining, Correctional and Uniforms. During my time with Aramark, I will be working on insights and analytics team for their Sports & Entertainment division. My work will include analyzing large sets of data in excel by cleaning up data and using ETL. Once the data is cleaned up, we start to analyze and visualize trends in the data that can vary from food consumption to financial information. After trends are identified and conclusions are made, we pass along our findings to their respective department or site manager.

My time at Cross America Partners was pleasant. I started the internship a bit late, as I was searching for internships around my home area to no avail. I ended up looking the HR rep for Cross America after my friend told me that they hired interns, and the rest was history. I really like our office and it felt new and modern. There was even a Coca-Cola Freestyle in the office for the employees to enjoy. The projects that I completed during the internship were fulfilling. I expanded my knowledge on topics like databases and Excel while being in an office environment. I learned a lot about business that I would not learn in the classroom, and I think that will assist my career in the long run. I probably will not return there unless I decide to live in Allentown, PA during my career. For now I am looking for jobs and internships in Philadelphia.

My experience at AmerisourceBergen has been amazing. I first started with the full-time 10 week internship program in the summer and half way through I was asked to stay on part-time during the school year. I have been working with the same team during this fall semester and it has been awesome. Next semester it looks like I will get to move to the Analytics team as well doing one day a week with my current team and two days a week with the analytics team. The hope is to stay on fulltime once I graduate but we will discuss that further next semester. Overall I have been so happy with this experience and have felt so honored to be here and to be given this opportunity.

My experience at DecisivEdge was nothing but positive. Everyone there was great to work with and I was extremely happy with my contributions to the company. Being my first IT internship, I was not sure what to expect from this summer, but this internship exceeded all of my expectations. I learned a lot about communication, technology, and working in a professional environment. I really enjoyed my assignments and the way DecisivEdge asked me to reflect on my time there as well. Along with the other interns, I presented to the DecisivEdge team about my summer, what I had learned, what I liked, and what I didn’t like. I was very proud that DecisivEdge asked me to return next summer but, I wanted to experience what working at a larger company had to offer. Because of this I will be interning at Merck next summer in their IT division.

My internship at BD was a great experience. I was able to gain real world experience as to what it is like to be a project manager and gain some knowledge into the world of big data. It has allowed me to make lasting relationships, and gather contacts that could be helpful in the future. Being able to work at such a large company gave me the insight as to what it is like to work in a corporate office. I am nothing but thankful for my time at BD.

My experience last summer at Pfizer was incredible and gave me great professional experience. I was able to apply what I learned in prior MIS classes and use those skills on real, intricate projects. In all honesty, I enjoyed every day of work and was always excited to meet new people and learn new skills. While I was a bit overwhelmed when I first started, I became extremely comfortable there due to their great company culture. Another aspect I enjoyed about Pfizer was how large of a company it is. The amount of resources and amazing people the company had put me in a great position to succeed in my internship and the rest of my career. Overall, I had a wonderful time over my 12 weeks at Pfizer.

My internship at Sooryen Technologies was a great experience. I have been able to gain the real world experience of what each day looks like as a software developer. Through this experience I was able to meet many people and network with the employees. I will continue my internship with the company until the end of the next semester and potentially receive a full time offer. Overall I am having a stressful but great time working at Sooryen.
