Tenable, Inc.

Software Engineer Intern

July - August 2022 • Columbia, MD

What I liked

They were very focused on developing their software engineers. Everyone was extremely helpful in my path to learn the complex codebase and microservices. Also, I appreciated how my manager made sure that I experienced the entire end-to-end development of my feature. I felt ownership for it, and also learned full-stack development.

What I wish was different

I wish that there was more in person interaction within teams. Once interns were broken up into different teams, they rarely interacted.

Advice

Ask questions. Do not be afraid to seek help from senior software engineers when something is going wrong.

Research and Publications Intern

June - August 2019 • Columbia, MD

What I liked

I had a great internship experience. I gained not only valuable experience in the tech field, but also really improved my professional development. The internship program was very well structured, and had amazing perks.

What I wish was different

Nothing!

Advice

It's important to go into an internship like this with an open mind. My academic background isn't in technology, so I was really nervous I wouldn't fit in or be able to work as well as I could. As soon as I started, these nerves dissipated because of how well-run the program was.
