My experience

Created requirement and design documentation for a customizable busyhour feature, then implemented it. Created requirement and design documentation for a configuration history tracking feature, then implemented it.

The internship starts off with a fair bit of onboarding. You'll go through some info sessions on the internet and the product, and once you're set up, you'll essentially be another member of whatever team you're assigned to, working on features and fixing bugs. Coworkers are friendly and encourage you to reach out if you need help.
