ZAK: Hello, my name is Zak Fleischman. I am a software engineering intern on the Principal mobile app team, and I'm located in the Des Moines office.

My experience interning at Principal has been very good so far. It's given me a glimpse into what the working environment looks like at Principal, how Agile works. It's also given me a leg up on what technologies big companies use. Then I'm able to go and seek out those technologies and learn those tools for the job.

The people at Principal is what makes this internship very meaningful for me. I've met so many great people through the intern socializing events. And my team is also really great, and they make it a lot easier for me to come into the office because I know I'm going to be working with good people.

The program is so big, and they've been doing it for so long that the experience is just amazing. And there's so many events and intern help documents that allow you to really get the most out of this internship.

You need to come to this internship willing to learn and grow as much as possible. Principal is looking for interns who are going to push themselves and give their absolute best to any task that they are assigned.
