Report
I had an amazing internship opportunity which confirmed my passion about a career in technology. The technology division of GEC was impressive. The work we did was often innovative and included the use of automated software deployment. I found myself coming to work and enjoying very hands on and involved tasks that often entailed very career based learning. During my time at GEC, my colleagues were nothing short of professional and extremely helpful and I really enjoyed working with the GEC Technology team throughout the summer. 5 Star Internship!
