Day in the Life as a NetApp Intern

This summer, NetApp welcomed over 100 Americas (US and Canada) interns to our 2021?Internship Program?for a dynamic and engaging summer!?

We are excited to announce that our NetApp Internship Program ranked on the Firsthand (formerly known as Vault) Top 100 Internships! See rankings below:?

• #41 – The Best 100 Internships?
• #5 – Best Internship by Industry (Tech & Engineering)?
• #4 – Best Internship by Role (Sales, Marketing & Communications)?
• #19 – Best Internship to Work for Quality of Life?

Our interns represented?a number of?diverse learning backgrounds including universities, certification and boot camp programs, and military fellowships.?

Upon joining, they hit the ground running with teams across the business including Engineering, Finance,?HR, IT, Legal, Marketing, Operations, Sales, Services and Support. Interns worked on meaningful and business critical projects in partnership with their managers and teams. These projects offer interns an opportunity to create a lasting impact on the business, develop their personal and professional skillsets, and work alongside top of class industry professionals.?

Aside from their day-to-day responsibilities, interns were?provided?ample opportunity to engage within the company and experience the NetApp culture. This summer, the Early?In?Career team hosted over 30?events including fireside chats with our executive leaders, insightful day in the life sessions with employees across the company, development trainings to help strengthen their professional brand, and a cross functional mentorship program in partnership with the Women in Technology (WIT) group.??

We are firm believers in?work?hard,?play?hard so let’s not forget about the social events. Interns got creative during our canvas paint event, used their critical thinking skills to virtually escape the doomed spaceship, and joined as their fellow intern led a cooking class. We hosted the 2nd annual Innovation Challenge where interns were placed into cross-functional teams to?solve for?a real business challenge and present their solutions for prizes!??

While we were sad to say goodbye to the summer, we are grateful for the lasting impact each intern had on NetApp.????
