Brandon Nelson - Pennsylvania State University Summer Project: Onboarding Automation for New Hires Best memory: Sitting at my desk working on my first project. I heard a loud whirring sound, looked up and saw a quadcopter drone flying over my head. At least ten Weebly employees were standing around firing Nerf guns at it cheering before a dart hit one of the rotors and it crashed to the ground. I knew at this point I was definitely not in Kansas (or Pennsylvania) any more. |
Jim Rottinger - College of New Jersey Summer Project: Front-End Blogging Improvements Advice for other internship-seekers: Recruiting is really, really hard. Trying to find a quality candidate in a haystack of resumes can be impossible work, so it’s up to you to make sure you don’t get missed. If you can, instead of of applying through an online portal or resume drop, send an email and make a phone call - anything you can do to make an impression. |
Daniel Johnson - Cal Poly Summer Project: Admin Tool for Customer Support Favorite assignment: I really liked the trial project, which was Weebly's substitute for an interview. I've found that interviews often involve some obscure technical riddles, and I think that a project is a better way to gauge technical skills. |
Steve Gattuso - University of Rochester Summer Project: iOS Development Biggest Challenge: Learning a brand new language in addition to a platform I was pretty inexperienced with. It was super fun to learn the more complex details in practice (rather than in a classroom), even if it meant crashing the compiler on an almost daily basis! |
Phoebe Huang - Princeton University Summer Project: Platform Research Best Experience: I designed a survey to collect product feedback from people currently using Weebly Designer Platform. It was exciting when we got over 2,000 responses and also really inspiring to see how many people genuinely love using Weebly. |
