What previous interns shared about their experience
This internship blew my expectations away. I was able to challenge myself with the work I did, connect with people at DSI, and learn what it's like to be working as a part of a team.
This internship was great. I felt empowered to succeed and complete tasks that had real world application.
The culture of DSI is a very kind and nurturing one; everyone is aware of their purpose and excited to get to work... I learned about things I never thought I would encounter.
