1. Working Environment
The working environment is professional, with FCJ community members being very friendly and open. Especially, senior FCJ members as well as peers in my cohort are always ready to support and answer questions when my team and I face difficulties in designing and using AWS services.
However, I think next time, if possible, there should be a fixed schedule for team members to come to the office more easily instead of competing as currently, so that everyone in the team can more easily access and communicate directly, as some members didn’t have time to get acquainted outside initially and could only get to know each other online.
2. Support from Mentor / Team Admin
The mentors are extremely dedicated and caring, along with a very large number of supporting FCJers. Initially, I was a bit hesitant about whether I could improve the knowledge I learned at school and apply it to work, and was somewhat confused when starting to learn and work. But I saw the opportunity in it from friends and seniors who are also developing new opportunities and new challenges. I am very grateful for the enthusiastic support from Nghi Danh who answered some of my questions about applying AI to Cloud, and I also thank mentors like Brother Kha and Master Hung, as well as previous season FCJers who enthusiastically supported and helped me.
3. Relevance of Work to Academic Major
The work I perform and learn will help me solve bigger problems, not just solving problems for a small school project, and instead I learned how to handle large projects, from attending events, not only expanding knowledge, but with my curiosity, I also explored many new technologies and researched how to apply them in practice. With my major being an AI Developer, I also need to develop further and learn more deeply about AWS ML/AI services.
4. Learning & Skill Development Opportunities
During the internship, I learned many new skills not only about my major but also other soft skills. I worked with new people, with people not in the same major, thereby gaining different perspectives from each field as well as skills through sharing among team members. I attended many meaningful events from experienced seniors at large corporations, learned how they apply AI to work as well as other advanced programming skills that helped me better orient my career. It also opened up the opportunity for me to become a Cloud Engineer in the future alongside my AI Developer work.
5. Company Culture & Team Spirit
The company culture is very positive. Everyone in the company provides dedicated support with a spirit focused on learning and sharing knowledge. During work, everyone works extremely focused but also has very enjoyable moments. When deadlines approach, everyone works together and supports each other regardless of position - whoever finishes their work supports those who haven’t finished, those who know help those who don’t, as long as there’s a problem, everyone will support to solve it quickly and effectively. This helped me easily integrate with everyone even though I’m just an intern.
