What have past interns told us about their experience? "It truly was very informative in what I'm looking for in my future career and I will be taking away a lot of very valuable tools that I can put towards future jobs Trusting me with legitimate tasks that actually affected the business was really great, and I'm glad I was able to get real work experience this summer. Thank goodness I wasn't just making coffee runs all summer like some other internships I've heard about" -Senior, University of Oregon, Marketing Intern "I would recommend this internship highly. Because of the size of the department, I've been able to see much more internal details about the inner workings of the communication between the servers and our applications, which I would not have experienced if I was working at a larger company. Also, the I.S. department is full of people always willing to help, and the team environment was a huge contribution to my learning experience." -2018 Graduate, Central Washington University, IS Software Intern "Tree Top provides an excellent learning environment, where you can be of use, and also develop good relationships.
