“The company visits and the opportunities to meet with hiring teams are incredibly valuable. It provided me with a better perspective on the teams I wanted to work with, something that is impossible to get from the generic job descriptions on the career sections or job boards. It's a fantastic program if you are committed to making a transition and working hard.”
