Brendan’s Answer

Great Question! As an intern I think it is extremely important to learn as much about the company and industry as possible. Even if it may not directly relate to the work you are doing, it is always beneficial and may spark an interest in something unexpected. I would recommend finding a more senior member of the team who has been with the company for a while and then over lunch (or just a quick meeting) chat about the history of the company, how it has changed since they joined, and the future goals. I personally have enjoyed many conversations started this way throughout my internship experience.

Hope this helps!
