Agilent Technologies

Engineering intern

May - August 2017 • North Kingstown, RI

What I liked

I got to see some of the inner workings of the engineering process and got real firsthand experience in the field. Also they were friendly and accommodating with my summer hours.

What I wish was different

I wish I had a longer time with them and a higher wage.

Advice

Really pay attention to your personal family and friend connections. I got this job by simply asking by email through my father’s friend’s husband who was part of the company.

Inside Sales Intern

June 2020 • Wilmington, DE

What I liked

The internship is a year long, pays well, and is a great way to provide a legitimate work experience to get someone involved in the biotech/pharma industry. Agilent is also a company with significant ties to Delaware, so it is close to campus and looks to UD to provide candidates for jobs/internships. The company is a spinoff of HP (Hewlett-Packard), so company culture is an integral part to how the business is ran. Every time when I was on the phone with a customer, my experience was different as their analysis always varied. Management is extremely open to discussing their career trajectories, and they are also flexible with maintaining a work life balance that is needed for the college student.

What I wish was different

Training could have been slightly more in depth, but people take the time on the job to show you certain processes. Outside of that, I have no recommendations.

Advice

While being a full time student and an intern, it can be demanding, but with the flexibility provided it allows for the individual to develop academically as well as professionally. The experiences the company provides for interns often time translates to full time positions, and the company wants to keep interns in the company as they reduce the time and cost of on-boarding. Every ounce of work you pour into the internship, you get out of it as you start your career.
