IT Internships

Hi everyone, I'm Parul Agarwal. I'm currently an intern with Mutual of Omaha. With the IT Intern program, each team in Mutual of Omaha has their own different structure and their own different practices. But what's common among all the IT teams as an intern is that you have mentors and supervisors. You have Kalin and Alicia with the intern management team that you can always reach out to with any doubts or queries.

During the summer we had weekly workshops that varied from just what mutual does and their culture from AWS workshops. We will wait weekly stand ups where you get to meet with the other interns, get to know what they are doing.

Something that is specific to my team is Intern Teaching intern where the older intern gets an opportunity to revise the technologies with the new interns, help them set up and go through the product. Apart from learning and practicing various technical skills, you get the opportunity to present your work to both technical and non-technical folks, which I would say is not an opportunity that you would be given in a classroom.

Mutual do have small team, big teams. Even when you're part of the team, you get the opportunity to work with other team members and just how such a big company works. It's a pretty unique and nice experience to have with Mutual.
