Curious what a day in the life of a Pega intern is like? Learn what our interns had to say about their #PegaInterns experience.

“I got to participate in an intern project where I was able to interact and collaborate with other Pega interns from around the world.”

“I felt that the work I was doing was impactful for the day-to-day operations of my team. I’m grateful that I could contribute in a meaningful manner instead of simply observing.”

“I encourage students to apply for an internship at Pega because of the opportunity to use a lot of new technologies like AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, Cloud, and more. They’re super useful skills and are becoming a new standard.”
