Monarch Tractor

Mechanical Roof and Battery Intern

June - September 2022 • Livermore, CA

What I liked

- plenty of hands on experience - ownership of direct parts - welcoming and fun working environment - opportunity to learn a lot about industry automotive and manufacturing practices and processes

What I wish was different

- more structured internship program (although it is a start-up so that was a trade off) - I wish there were employee resource groups (diversity groups) (maybe they added some after I left, though)

Advice

- I advise to work for a start-up. You learn a lot and gain valuable experience, and learn to be independent and seek out opportunities. You can make connections across departments more easily in a small company too.
