Booz Allen Hamilton Inc

Software Developer Intern

June - August 2018 • Rockville, MD

What I liked

I got to build software that was important. We rewrote the navies communication system from the ground up and it is being implemented across the entire fleet now.

What I wish was different

Not much. I loved it.

Advice

Get internships. Do projects. Don't reily on simply what gcc requires you to do. That is not good enough. Make the extra effort to show companies that you care about your profession by persueing it outside of normal school hours.

Summer Games Intern

June - August 2018 • Norfolk, VA

What I liked

It was a lot of fun, met a lot of great people. Taught myself a lot and learnt a lot of how to deal with people. Spent 10 weeks working with a team of not only developers was a wicked experience

What I wish was different

More people who were able to mentor me about game design, and who were connected with the game industry.

Advice

People who know nothing about coding literally know NOTHING about how coding works. Also, communication with such people (and even fellow developers) are incredibly important.

What I liked

Real Life experience challenging project working with other interns

Because it is a government management consulting agency, you can't really understand what people are doing that work their full time. This part I was disappointed in however you cannot really fix this problem

The way that the Summer Games Program is set up is really neat and if you get a cool project it is a really rewarding Summer.

There were lots of opportunities to network and it was extremely encouraged.

Summer Games Intern

June - August 2018 • San Diego, CA

What I liked

I loved working in a group of both business majors and engineering majors. I made long terms friends with all of my group members. The "benefits" for the summer were great too. San Diego is amazing.

What I wish was different

I wish it would have been more technical/engineering related. I gained workplace experience, but not much engineering experience.

Advice

I would say that this was an amazing summer internship. Definitely get everything that you can from it and make long-term connections within the company.

Summer Games Intern

June - August 2018 • Washington, DC

What I liked

I loved working with Booz Allen this summer! It's an amazing place for college students to understand more of what a consulting firm does, and beyond that how they are spreading through to the tech field. As an intern, you have the opportunity to see all of their offices in the DC/Metro and ample opportunities to network with full time employees. The program "Summer Games" was really fun as well, and you get to meet interns from all over the country! 10/10
