Easy to do well if you socialize with all coworkers, especially from different departments. I don't think internship is great if you want to work on technical projects. I had a lot of fun though!!

Operations and Technology Intern

June - August 2019 • Englewood Cliffs, NJ

What I liked

I really enjoyed the team I worked on in the On-Air Operations department. I also really enjoyed learning about the technology used in the Network Origination Center to broadcast NBC's content. The NBC MediaTech program has a great internship program and provides a lot of fun events and networking opportunities.

What I wish was different

The application processes did take longer than expected so I wish there was more communication from the recruiters during that process.

Advice

I would encourage anyone who is interested in media and technology to apply for the MediaTech program. I also would encourage anyone interning with NBC to take advantage of the large network of talented people that is available to you and meet as many people in your industry of interest as possible.

Software Quality Assurance Engineer Intern

June - August 2019 • Englewood Cliffs, NJ

What I liked

I really got to see what the software development cycle was like, so that was extremely fun. I also had so much fun hanging with my fellow interns.

What I wish was different

As much as I loved my team on quality assurance, I wish I could have gotten to rotate between other teams such as DevOps. I also wish there was more structure within my team.

Advice

Make sure you are getting feedback from your mentor to identify what you’re doing well and how you can improve. Such information is very valuable.

Sales & Marketing Intern

May - August 2019 • Newton Centre, MA

What I liked

Everything. My internship at NBCUniversal was one of the best ones in my entire life. I got to work closely with other departments and network with award-winning producers, filmmakers, and editors. It was an amazing experience because I got to work in breaking news in the control room and other areas in the news station. I developed the Media Kit for the company which helped connect with other clients across the US and the globe. I got to work on the field, attending commercial shoots and working closely with clients like Nissan and Broadway in Boston. I helped with the creation of packages for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and The Hub Today segments.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have had even more on-hands experience at the station. I was in the Sales & Marketing Offices which were on a different location, but I wish I could have gotten more experience in the control room, working in morning news or for The Hub Today. I wish I could have been able to spend every morning working in the control room but I enjoyed working in the sales department. I just wanted more experience in the producing field.

Advice

Networking is important. Never be afraid to do more than you think you can handle. Never be afraid to speak up and say what you think. When you have an internship, make sure you experience other fields in the company. If you are working in sales, make sure you take a day to work in production! Never be afraid to step out of your comfort zone! Get out of the office space and explore other spaces.

MediaTech Intern: Enterprise Software Development

June - August 2019 • Englewood Cliffs, NJ

What I liked

I loved my team, and the great work/life balance. My team was really great about me needing to leave early some days for doctors appointments, other meetings, etc. as long as I completed work assigned to me. I also liked that the management several rungs up the ladder seemed to care about the work I did. I felt like I was really making an impact and creating cool work. Additionally, my team was great about me wanting to learn new skills or technologies and encouraged certifications. I also got the chance to see Late Night with Seth Meyers and Mad Money!

What I wish was different

I wish that there were more organized intern events, there wasn't the same internship culture you see at a lot of other similar companies that sponsor intern retreats, lunches, outings, etc. The people were great, but within their tech. hub (EC) there weren't many young people.

Advice

Make sure you consistently reach out to your team and management for more work and experience so people know who you are/you're aware of what is going on with the team! With such a large organization, it can be easy to get lost in the crowd.

News Intern

June - August 2019 • Newton, MA

What I liked

I was lucky enough to be assigned to work both with the investigative team on weekdays, and on the assignment desk on weekends. This gave me a wide range of experience, and I gained valuable insight from both positions.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had known a bit more about how the hours were set before I began.

Advice

All of my experience in news prior to this internship was in print journalism, and I would recommend that anyone in print try out broadcast to see if they like it, and vice versa. It's very important now more than ever for journalists to have experience in/experiment in multiple fields.
