Co-op

May - August 2018 • Huntsville, AL

What I liked

Adtran has a very organized co-op program. Last summer was my 2nd work term so I had a better idea of what I was getting in to and was able to better prepare for the work my team was doing.

What I wish was different

One downside of a large co-op program is that it can be difficult for development teams to always have tasks suited for an entry level co-op. It is difficult to balance a task that isn't trivial but itsn't completely over your head (not that this issue is unique to adtran).

Advice

My main advice at adtran or any co-op is to enter with a learning and growth mindset. Ask as many questions as possible and don't expect yourself to be an expert right when you start.

Advice

Don’t take things too seriously, you’re here to learn, not be the best. If you walk away everyday thinking “Man, I could have done better on that project”, you’ve got the wrong mindset. The better thought is actually a question: “What did I learn today?”
