“Throughout my internship at Ericsson, I'm most proud of the automation projects that I've gotten the chance to work on and contribute to because I've learned a lot working on those projects. It’s a really tangible area where you can almost immediately see the impact of your work. Everyone at Ericsson has been approachable and friendly, it’s a really great environment to work in.”

“One thing that surprised me most during my internship was the sheer scale of innovation and how early-on interns are trusted to take part in meaningful work. I didn’t expect to have such hands-on experience with advanced AI tools or to be involved in strategic discussions that impact global sourcing initiatives. It was refreshing to see how open and collaborative the work culture is. Everyone, from leadership to fellow interns, genuinely wants you to succeed and grow.”​

It was great to collaborate on projects with colleagues from all across the globe and have friends across the world that I could talk to and get assistance from.”​
