Product Development Intern

June - July 2017 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I loved everyone that I worked with on my team, and I felt like I made an actual contribution to the product line my team was developing.

What I wish was different

I wish that there were more opportunities for me to interact with other interns to create substantial friendships for the future.

Advice

Be honest with your supervisor, and share that you are willing to do any work that will make an actual contribution to the product line. You rather be busy and have the day go by, rather than be given no work because your supervisor doesn't think you're that interested.

Corporate Communications Intern

June - August 2018 • New York City, NY

What I liked

What I wish was different

Advice

Never be afraid to bring your creative and diverse perspective to the table. I was nervous about being the only student of color, in a space that I've only known to be dominated by white males. As I spent more time, I started meeting more people who looked like me in such important positions. It inspired me to speak up in meetings and share more of my ideas. I ended up bringing a different view into the conversation, that ended up being super helpful.

Employers hand you big responsibilities from the get-go. It's an intellectually stimulating environment as Macy's is currently tackling on challenges brought on my e-commerce.

What I wish was different

Nothing

Buying and Merchandising Intern

June - July 2018 • New York City, NY

What I liked

Very organized intern program, hands-on experience, chances to interact with many different departments in the company, transparency about return offers.

What I wish was different

Higher pay

Advice

Ask a lot of questions and try to soak up everything you are told from your peers and managers. A lot of the resources and projects you work on are completely knew and not taught at Questrom so asking questions is key to performing well in the job and getting a return offer!
