Finance operations intern
June - August 2019 • Tulsa, OK
What I liked
Verizon allows its interns to get the full experience of the business. Each intern is on a specific project that allows them to branch out and learn new business tips and tricks. Verizon is very big on continuing your education. While I was there I had the chance to take a SQL class and learn the basics of tableau which I have since used in my semester classes.

Financial Operations Intern
June - August 2018 • Tulsa, OK
What I liked
Everyone I met was incredibly knowledgeable and willing to help anytime any of the interns had questions. We had our own project and made a measurable impact on the company.
What I wish was different
There was a lot of down time in the beginning because systems access took so long. I wish there had been more to do to fill the time.
Advice
Go in with an open mind and try to learn the big picture. At Verizon, it's easy to get lost in the details because they have such a large operation, but seeing how everything works together is one of the coolest parts of the process.
