What do the interns do in Google?

We know what internship usually is; a bunch of kids helping the employees in whatever they do. But at Google, these interns are working on real products. Each intern has an instructor and will be assigned one project with team mates. Shah remembers the internal rolling out of first Android feature he developed. “It was a great sense of satisfaction,” said Shah, as the product is going to be used by millions.

The interns also enjoy several Google-organized trips to museums, movies, hiking and biking excursions, as well as several trips to San Francisco. There were also a lot of team dinners.

After Google Internship?

According to Baltescu, a former intern at Google, the internship help develop coding skills which otherwise are difficult to learn. Soon after his internship at Google, Shah had given an interview at the company for a full time job, with the help of his mentor. He was offered a job after the interviews and will join the search giant after his graduation. Here is his advice for the Google dreamers: “Google is really looking for experience. They want to find engineers who are motivated, so activities outside of school really help. At the same time, you need to know your basics. You need to understand simple algorithms and how to apply them. Google is all about application."
