"I worked on a team in my last job and enjoyed the collaboration. Since I was a new intern in the company, before anything else, I wanted to learn from more experienced engineers. And boy did I learn a lot. The team was a diverse group of engineers and technical staff from all over the world with very different cultural backgrounds. It was an incredible learning experience and I believe that I grew a lot as an engineer on that team."
