Compensation
Sun offers a competitive compensation package and paid holidays. Relocation expenses, including housing and travel, will be provided to eligible students.

Meet People
Sun's Executive Speakers Series gives interns the opportunity to build a professional working network, hear from Sun Microsystems executives and learn more about the company's structure, projects, and goals. They can also meet informally with famous pioneers and legends in the computer field -- people like Whitfield Diffie, Bob Sproull, Sheueling Chang, Guy Steele and Ivan Sutherland.

Have Fun
The environment at Sun Labs is definitely casual. During the summer, both campuses sponsor fun activities for socializing with fellow interns and employees.

Plan for the Future
Internships provide access to Sun University classes which gives interns extensive employee training and development, as well as personal and career growth. Sun also provides Career Services Assistance, where certified career consultants provide help in identifying and developing individual talents, and finding career goals that will make the work experience at Sun rewarding and successful.
