This summer, Sophia Li, a rising senior at the University of Waterloo, worked remotely as a software engineering intern on MongoDB's DevHub Platform Team. She was drawn to the company's wide range of teams and flexible work options. Working on building out MongoDB's Developer Hub, Sophia found meaningful support from her professional community despite working remotely from Canada. Her team provided guidance and resources, including mentorship and code reviews, which helped her learn new technologies and develop as an engineer. Through regular check-ins and social events, Sophia stayed connected with her colleagues and peers, making remote work feel less isolating and lonely. The experience has given her a higher level of independence and autonomy, allowing her to enhance her time management skills and enjoy a fun project that motivates her to come to work every day.
