I enjoyed how they catered to their interns and tried to help them as best as possible.
What I wish was different
I wish the intern experience spent less time on onboarding and more on more meaningful work.
Advice
I would advise students to be more open-minded about their work experiences and understand that it doesn't lock them into a certain career path or field.

Developer Intern
May - August 2021 • Cary, NC
What I liked
The company was really supportive, even after finishing my internship they reached out to me and are curious about my journey. During my time there, my team really focused on my personal development over a deadline. It really felt like a family.
What I wish was different
I was the only intern on my team. I often felt lonely at work because we were remote and my team members were mostly on the older end. I did not have much interaction with other interns.
Advice
Talk to everyone! Every employee at SAS is so welcoming and willing to help you with anything!

Flight Operations Intern
May - August 2020 • Cary, NC
What I liked
SAS demonstrates amazing company culture throughout the organization. Within Flight Operations in particular, they are so incredibly welcoming, experienced, and professional, and I was so lucky to be a part of their operation.
What I wish was different
Although my internship this summer was primarily virtual, this was an unavoidable element and the Intern Team did everything they could to make the experience great for all interns.
Advice
Reach out, network, and take full advantage of the connections you will have access to at SAS! Employees are more than willing to share their career paths and experiences, and offer you so much useful knowledge.
