Great Program for Technology/Product Management

Experience during the program

This program has been tremendous in helping me with my career switch into a role in a technology company (I recently accepted a full-time PM role at Amazon).

The TIGER program is a hidden gem that provides you with hands-on experience creating a business out of engineering research. My project is on hardware developed by a PhD in the College of Computing; we're looking at applications in the self-driving vehicle industry. Since I didn't have a technology background, mentioning this experience has been key in all my interviews.

The recruiting pipelines to major technology companies are great, too. This year more than 10% of the class is going out to Seattle to work at Amazon or Microsoft. Career services brings the companies to us and makes recruiting very straightforward.
