Nice to connect with you @MeetMerchant If you don't mind, do you care to share your experience interning with Esri as a CS student in the IST division?

Hi Ugochukwu,

Great to connect with you!

I’m happy to share my experience interning with Esri in the IST division. It’s been really insightful, especially as a CS student. I’m currently managing 2-3 projects, and sometimes I have full ownership and flexibility over them. I’m also involved in decision-making meetings, which has been a great learning experience. I work with Angular, TypeScript, Node.js, C#, and .NET, so it’s been a fantastic opportunity to apply and expand my skills. We interns frequently meet with higher management, and I even got to participate in a hackathon, which was amazing. Attending the UC (User Conference) was also an awesome experience!

If you have any specific questions or want to know more, feel free to ask!

Hello @MeetMerchant 

Thank you for your honest experience summary of your time as an Esri Intern. Fortunately, I am a current Master's student in the Department of Computer Management Information Systems (CMIS), although already have a Geography and GeoInformation Sciences master's degree, I hope to integrate the two fields while contributing significantly to the GIS community.

What would you say with my profile summary and what will be your advice for me if I envision shooting for an Esri Internship for Summer 2025?
