I’m Edison, but most people call me Ed. I’m passionate about music, books, movies, TV shows, crafts—I’m even learning crochet —as well as meaningful conversations. I’m currently a marketing student and in my second year as an intern at Dell, working with the Talent Marketing and Engagement team. Working on this team has been incredible because I’ve had the chance to connect with colleagues from the United States, India, Panama, Slovakia, and Taiwan, supporting their projects and enriching my experience, all while working from Eldorado, Brazil.

What drew you to apply and what were your initial expectations when you started the internship?

When it comes to job opportunities and growth, Dell was always on my radar. Working at an international multicultural company with a strong open-door culture and countless opportunities to learn and grow inspired me to apply. After applying for and entering the company, I had high expectations for learning, autonomy, growth, and opportunities. Those were quickly surpassed. Not only did I experience all of that, but I was also trusted to support other teams, which gave me insight into different areas of operation. This experience inspired me to help my team implement improvements for better results. This was only possible because I was heard. My opinion mattered from day one. I wasn’t just a number; I was encouraged to share ideas and learn throughout the process. Undoubtedly, having the chance to connect with people from other fields and marketing areas opened my eyes to the whole world of possibilities inside Dell. Everyone is very welcoming and willing to listen, assist, and guide you through your career development. At Dell, I’ve met numerous mentors who helped me choose my best path within the company.
