Cybersecurity SWE Co-op
Department: Cloud
My experience
Overview
Cannot be too specific due to the nature of GTRI's clients, but basically I was tasked with updating software binaries to newer versions within AWS, altering the existing Ansible processes for installing these apps, and writing/consolidating documentation for this.
Great co-op so far, enjoyed working with this team.
Pros
This team had a "here's the task, explore" attitude, which was helpful for learning a ton. They were always willing to answer questions, just wanted to be hands off.
Cons
Remote is not ideal. Co-op guidelines are not super clear. Initial set-up takes a while.
Impact of work
Time spent working
How did working remote affect your experience?
Most of the team was working remote or hybrid, so not a huge deal, but still unfortunate since could not meet many of the senior devs.

Advice on how to prepare
Be versed with Linux and the basics of systems and networks. They don't expect you to know a ton, just be able to pick things up quickly.
