Feeling Official

     Before the past summer of 2013, I had no idea of where I wanted to work over the summer. By the time it was June, I lost hope and was going to start looking for random minimum waged, easy jobs. Fortunately the week before that happened, I received a call from a pharmaceutical company in Cambridge called Genzyme. I had no chances to lose so I agreed to an abrupt interview and got accepted. That time I never heard of them yet teachers and friends told me how great and big of a company they were. I walked in the building and first thing I noticed were the indoor waterfalls, plush leather seats, glassed stairs and glassed elevators. There is a virtual tour on their website but I would recommend going there to experience the building. They pay very well but shocking to say that the money did not matter because it was such a great job. I was lucky enough to be the only intern with my own full office. The others had cubicles. Working there was fun because most of the time I stayed on the computer and phone with the others finishing my summer reading. Other than that, I got to meet and work with great doctors and other professionally skilled workers. I became close friends with my supervisors and my manager who is the General Counsel of Genzyme. I definitely plan on going back during of after college.
