2020 Technology Summer Internship, Rocklin
Williams Sonoma, Inc. is in search of summer interns who are strategic thinkers, ready to innovate, and have a passionate for retail and technology. As an intern here you can develop your skills alongside a team of supportive mentors and inspiring leaders. Williams Sonoma Inc. is a global, multi-channel retailer of home furnishings and housewares (our family of brands includes Williams Sonoma, Williams Sonoma Home, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, PBteen, west elm, Mark & Graham, and Rejuvenation), but we operate within smaller teams, giving each person an opportunity for hands-on experience.

In Tech, we're not just coders -- we are leaders and communicators. Our brand and shared service partners know that when they need a technical guru to lend a hand, we've got their back. Whether it's helping an associate with a day-making tech fix, creating an online shopping experience that's smooth as silk, looking into the future for the next big thing, or finding new ways to run green, each of us is committed to creating a great user experience.
The internships available at the Rocklin corporate offices are within the following departments:
* Integration Platform (Programming Skills - Java, Data Structures, Algorithms)
* Enterprise Tools (Programming Skills - Java, Python, Powershell)

YOUR EXPERIENCE
We designed our internship program to be a game-changing first step in kicking off your career journey. For the first week of your internship, we will place you in one of our retail stores. We believe that learning the store retail business provides a strong foundation for success in corporate. For that week, you will work with our store leadership team to learn how the stores run and operate. For the remaining eight weeks of your internship, you will be a part of an intern cohort working at one of our corporate office locations. Our talent team will place you in a department based on your interviews, interests, and skill set. Throughout the program, you will attend business critical meetings, lead projects, gain experience working with cross-functional teams, attend professional trainings, and have the chance to brainstorm with our leadership team.
