Need some genuine advice
Hi all, I am currently interning at a US medical device healthcare giant. Its been close to 5 months I'm here. Till now I haven't been assigned any implementation tasks All I get to do is dry runs, debugging and documentation
PPO is also not guaranteed. It's based on performance. I feel very scared what would happen if I don't get the PPO. Apart from that, I feel shy asking help from seniors because a) They are super busy. Always on meetings b) I feel they would think I'm stupid for asking silly doubts
Even no proper KTs have been given. It's like F around and figure out.
Please advice me how to actually come out of this situation. This is my first corporate experience and I feel worried and scared each day
So you are not friendly with seniors yet?
The code base that I'm a part of was written by two SSEs that resigned last month. Now no one has a good idea of the code. Even though I am friendly with them, they smartly try to steer the conversation away from the doubt that I bring to them (senior people are damn good at communication NGL)
no code is complex enough to make sense out of unless it is in ASM. That too only has issues because sys calls are written as hexadecimals for which you need a reference book handy.
What's SSE? Why are you obsessed with abbreviations and if you want, I can teach you how to make sense out of any source code.
I’m guessing you’re at GE? You’re probably doing fine, they offer PPO to most of their interns
Might be :) I really hope they do
I’m at GE HC, last year they offered PPO to most people. Their hiring standards are not that tough for junior engineers
