Big ideas, real impact, and growth that lasts.
At WD, We Make It Possible isn’t just a promise for customers or technology—it’s a commitment to the next generation of Drivers. Our interns and early-career employees bring curiosity, energy, and fresh perspectives that spark real change. Through hands-on experiences, mentorship, and collaboration, they discover that at WD, even as an intern, you can contribute in meaningful ways and leave a lasting mark.
From observation to impact
For many interns, the first days are about orientation, learning the ropes, and getting familiar with new tools and systems. But at WD, the learning curve quickly becomes an opportunity to contribute.
Early-career employees are trusted with meaningful work that goes beyond observation—supporting real initiatives, improving existing processes, and helping teams move faster and smarter. From modernizing legacy workflows to building scalable data foundations, interns quickly see how their work connects to the bigger picture and delivers measurable value.
That early sense of ownership is intentional. It reflects WD’s belief that fresh perspectives, when paired with the right support, can create immediate impact.
For Divyansh Dubey, the first computer science engineer in his family, the sense of ownership translated into hands-on projects that accelerated his growth far beyond expectations.
With every debug, every document, and every commit, I was not just writing code—I was building confidence. From day one, connection was more than a value—it was a feeling.
– Divyansh Dubey
From learning to belonging
Interns are quickly immersed in cross-functional collaboration, working across departments, connecting knowledge, and seeing how decisions ripple across the business.
Through it all, I realized: I can deliver, I can compete, and I belong.
– Sriram S Kumar
From sales and finance to engineering and strategy, interns like Divyansh and Sriram have learned to transform siloed insights into reusable workflows, proving that curiosity and initiative can create real impact—no matter your role.
I wasn’t just observing—I was contributing. I wasn’t just learning—I was evolving.

Guidance, mentorship, and opportunity
At WD, interns are empowered by mentors, structured programs, and leadership engagement. Many find their confidence grows as quickly as their technical skills.
The initial months were a deep dive into unfamiliar tools and systems, guided by the incredible RAMP program, led by mentors who welcomed us interns like family.

A bug I finally understood. A small win that made a big difference. A growing belief that I could figure this out.

These experiences help interns see that the power of data, technology, and processes comes alive when paired with collaboration and curiosity.
Leadership engagement—seeing possibilities firsthand
The summer intern program also included a special moment: a candid conversation with CEO Irving Tan at Great Oaks HQ.
Irving wanted to come speak to us! He asked the interns what we would change about WD and what should stay the same. He took our answers seriously and gave thoughtful commentary that left me inspired for the future of my career and WD.
– Shaina Srivastava
Hearing directly from a CEO who honors the legacy of a company with over 50 years of innovation while sharing a bold vision for the future left me energized and hopeful.
– Manas Manu
Moments like this demonstrate that at WD, leadership doesn’t just set the direction—it opens doors for interns and early-career talent to see the impact they can have.
Launching careers through real work
By the end of their internships, interns have gone far beyond observation. They’ve taken ownership of real projects, collaborated across teams, and contributed to solutions that matter. Many leave with full-time offers and a clear sense of how they can grow at WD.
This isn’t just the end of an internship. It’s the beginning of something much bigger. We’re building the future of data, and I’m proud to be part of it.
