Project Outcomes
My internship experience at ESRI was incredibly valuable to my professional development. I saw the internal workings of a major software development company, and I benefited greatly from the knowledge of the personnel in the organization.
The experience was particularly high-quality for a number of reasons: open minded, enthusiastic and intelligent team members; excellent mentorship; flexibility in pursuing my own research topic; the high quality of the company; and a casual and collaborative workspace. I left the internship with documentation of my testing activity and its results and a hardcopy of my research report.
