<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I have recently been offered an internship at Qualcomm in San Diego in the Security Engineer department. From what I have heard from interviewers and online Qualcomm is highly regarded for there internship program. I would be doing a 3 month internship this summer and would just like to know more about there intern program from someone who was actually an intern. I would also be interested in experiences of others that have also have interns in software/IT related fields. </p>
<p>This is my only offer for internship right now so almost 100% sure i'm going to accept it as getting somewhat late in the season for internships. Still would love more information. Some more specific questions I have are:</p>
<p>What sorts of benefits or perks do interns see? carpool? free lunches/food? free gym use? or anything else.</p>
<p>Does qualcomm drug test there interns? Not that I wouldn't pass just would like to be aware if I will need to take time to do this.</p>
<p>How hands are were the internships? Did you feel mentors really felt motivated to teach interns the ropes and get them involved?</p>
<p>Would appreciate answers from anyone who has interned before basically anywhere in engineering related fields. I've never interned before and would just like to be as well informed as possible. Thanks for all the help.</p>
