Intern Program Overview:

Meraki interns join the team for a 12 or 14 week program and are placed directly onto subteams. During the program, interns have the opportunity to work on a small starter project, such as integration and implementation of new tools, before spending the remaining duration of the program on a larger project, such as building the infrastructure for a new service. Projects are cross-functional, which allow insight into new languages and technologies, help encourage professional growth within engineering and allow a sense of ownership within the team.

Each intern is matched 1:1 with a mentor who provides continual feedback and guidance throughout the duration of the program. Mentors help with introductions to other team members, overviews of tools and processes, and provide a seamless integration into Meraki life.
