Hardware Engineering Intern

May - August 2018 • Pittsburgh, PA

What I liked

After spending a summer interning at Uber ATG, I felt like I became a much better engineer. As an intern I had real responsibilities and worked with qualified engineers who were willing to help me learn new skills. This coupled with the great work atmosphere and employee benefits made for a phenomenal internship experience.

What I wish was different

Nothing in particular.

Advice

I recommend taking the internship as an opportunity to learn as much as you can. At Uber, the full-time engineers are very willing to teach you new skills and provide more opportunities to learn. If there is a subject that you are interested in learning more about, even if it is unrelated to your responsibilities, I believe that it is worth reaching out and asking about it.

City Operations and Marketing Intern

June - August 2018 • Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam Region

What I liked

I loved the autonomy I had over my work which gave me a lot of confidence when it came to how I was positively impacting and adding value to the company. In the same vein, I was trusted with presenting my research or my stats without too much supervision which made me way more accountable of my deliverables. There was a great work structure and environment that was always fast paced with multiple facets that created an exciting work space. Overall, made me realize that I want to work in the tech industry.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had been able to stay longer and make an even bigger impact in the company.

Advice

Make sure to take advantage of the resources available, and if there is something that you would like to access do not be afraid to ask for it. I wanted access to the SQL learning database, it took a couple of weeks but I finally got granted access by someone a continent away. I was able to leave my internship being proficient in SQL and with some background in Python, all this when I had no previous coding experience.

Uber driver

October 2017 • Chico, CA

What I liked

I love being able to go any where in California. Meeting new people and sharing experiences with them.

What I wish was different

Knowing different areas. If I had to drive far to pick some one up only to drop them off a short distance away is really annoying and wasteful of my gadgets and time.

Advice

Be open to people. It is your personal space in your personal car, but people pay for your services to get them safely from point A to point B

Delivery

April 2019 • Clearwater, FL

What I liked

I had the opportunity to work at my own schedule and meet new interesting people everyday.

What I wish was different

I wish I had gotten better pay for what I was doing.

Advice

If you choose to ever work for a rideshare company such as Uber, Lyft, GrubHub etc. You have to put the time in to make a lot. It all depends on luck and timing so you don't always make the same amount day to day.
