What our interns say

LarsFyhr(FTL 2020), our intern from University of Texas, said--

"My time here in GST has been nothing short of exceptional. While working as an intern for GST, I have been fortunate enough to build upon my prior knowledge tenfold, which served as an utterly amazing experience, even in an online remote format due to the ongoing pandemic. Some of the most valuable experience came from the meetings that I sat in on and often contributed to, whether they were client pitches or individual meetings with clients to provide support. I am grateful to know that the experience and knowledge that I have acquired working at GST will help tremendously in kickstarting my career in technology."

Max Yuan(FTL 2020), our intern from Yale University, said --

"This FTL Internship program with GST has been an incredibly fulfilling experience that has exposed me to every phase of the software development process. The sheer breadth of opportunities that are available at GST is what makes the program so unique. I've been directly involved in the planning, development, deployment, and maintenance of professional software for our clients, a level of engagement I highly doubt that you could reach interning for a Big Tech company.

Furthermore, this experience isn't company-specific-you can directly apply everything you learn during this internship to any other technical project. Sprint planning in Asana, resource management in AWS, development with React, and performance monitoring in New Relic are all examples of skills that will benefit me immensely in becoming a future tech leader."
