Brand Merchandising Intern
May - August 2019 • New York City, NY
What I liked
I loved the community and culture at Discovery. Everyone was extremely welcoming and friendly. I had lots of opportunities to meet people from across the company for informational meetings. I was able to learn so much about Discovery and different career paths from all of the wonderful employees at Discovery who were so willing to sit and chat with me. The Discovery Internship Program was recently ranked #4 on Vault's Survey of Top Media and Telecom Internship Programs. The program teaches you about the media and entertainment industry from the ground up. The speaker series was one of my favorite parts of the summer. Executives from across the company, including President and CEO David Zaslav, would share their journey with the intern class and offered insightful advice.
What I wish was different
I wish Discovery had opportunities in the fall to stay on the team. Discovery only offers Spring and Summer Intern positions, and I wish I could have been able to stay on the team. I also wish there was more time to mingle and network with other interns.
Advice
One piece of advice I would share about this experience would be to truly take advantage of all that Discovery employees have to offer you. I was able to talk to people from so many different departments. It was a great networking and learning experience. I would also say that is important to talk to your intern recruiters and network with them as well, because they are so happy to help you in the future.

Social Media Analytics Intern
June - August 2019 • Knoxville, TN
What I liked
Discovery really prioritizes their interns. Company executives, even the CEO, took time out of their busy schedules to pour into the interns. Work environment was very fast, but the team oriented atmosphere made it easy for me to ask questions. The atmosphere at Discovery was fantastic. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience!
What I wish was different
Personally, I was not full time at the start of the summer. This was not true for all interns, however I do wish that option had been open to me from the start of the summer.
Advice
Know everything you can about Microsoft Excel before you show up. It is essential for success. Also, network when you are there. Get peoples' LinkedIn profiles every chance you get!

Diversity Equity Engagement Intern
June 2021 • Burbank, CA
What I liked
Very supportive and inclusive office, excellent intern programming events, and access to an impressive network. Interns are clearly appreciated at WM, and the folks here want to help you achieve your goals.
What I wish was different
My opportunity was remote, so trying to connect with others was difficult, especially being the only intern in my office.
Advice
Reach out to folks, and treat the "coffee chats" like an interview about their career if you're struggling to come up with conversation topics.

There was so much opportunity to grow at this company! Great Intern program with plenty of events.
What I wish was different
Advice
In my experience, it was best to be self directed through the duration of the internship. Create goals for yourself other than what your manager has created and seek change if you need it. Everyone is willing to help.

Video Production Intern
June - August 2017 • New York City, NY
What I liked
I love the company culture. All of my projects were hands-on and I felt like a central member of the team.
What I wish was different
The internship only lets you work a maximum of 30 hours a week, and I wanted to work more hours per week.
Advice
Don't be afraid to reach out to other members of the company about anything, even if it's not related to your department or if you just want to get coffee.
