Meet Ben Farmilo.
Tell us a bit about yourself.
Hello! My name is Ben Farmilo, and I’m a grade 11 high school student. I’m a logical person who likes to code, learn, and relax. I do a lot of programming in my spare time, with the intent to learn as much as I can about as many things as I can. Currently, I’m working as an intern at Pivotree, and I hope to continue my future in software development by attending Waterloo University for computer science in a couple of years
What do you love doing outside work?
Outside of work, I really enjoy games of all kinds – board games, card games, and video games. I have also taken up modding, and I really enjoy creating new content for games I enjoy and engaging with the community to see what’s needed. Finally, I like to spend some time doing coding, working on small webapps, designing fun little video games, or trying competitive programming challenges.
What program and team are you a part of, and what kind of work are you doing as an Intern at Pivotree?
In the beginning, I was told to do a proof of concept using artificial intelligence chatbots and cloud technologies, as a way to get my feet wet with the available cloud tools. I created specific technology functions, set up integrations, did a lot of bug fixing, and had a chance to do some self-guided learning. Recently, I’ve joined a team working on a project for a leading apparel retailer, and up until now, I’ve been learning about the codebase, seeing what already exists, and getting up to speed on all the information. Soon enough I’ll be working on an official customer project.
How did you hear about Pivotree’s internship opportunity and why did you decide to apply?
I heard about it because one of my parent’s friends worked at Pivotree and I was seeking a co-op position for school. I decided to apply because I thought it would be incredibly valuable to have real-world software development experience at a relatively young age, and it would help me decide if this was something I wanted to pursue in the future. Pivotree is a successful software development company, and I was curious how it worked on the inside in order to become that way.
What has been your favorite experience so far?
Near the start of my internship experience, I was given a cloud services project, with instructions to “learn about it” and see what I could do. Honestly, it was really fun to mess around with different services and possibilities, and to be able to create something that simply exists on the internet, that I can show off and access anywhere.
In what ways do you feel supported?
Whenever I needed help with a service or technical issues, I was always able to contact someone and they would help. My supervisors also provided me with work or useful learning tasks that I could complete, so that I learn what I need to do.
How has your internship at Pivotree shaped your educational and career goals?
Before my internship, I was a little hesitant and unsure of what a career within professional software development would look like, but being able to see how it works from the inside, the many different services and software used and how it’s structured, really helped me decide that this is indeed something that I want to do in my future.
What advice do you have for students who are interested in interning at Pivotree?
Personally, I’ve had nothing but a positive experience at Pivotree, so I’d strongly recommend that they pursue it. I’ve noticed that there’s a lot of background information about services, languages, and the development process that you should learn before you get started, however, there’s a lot of information that’s very well documented about all this stuff, so be willing to research information in your own time so that you can fully understand what you are doing.

Meet Nikhil Aranha.
Tell us a bit about yourself.
Hi! My name is Nikhil Aranha. I am an international student currently pursuing my postgraduate diploma in marketing management at Humber College. I am an extremely outgoing and creative person. I am curious and love learning things I never expected to learn. I love working out, gaming, and on some occasions some light reading. I am currently working as a marketing intern at Pivotree and am having a great time learning how a company of this size manages its marketing efforts and look forward to learning a great deal from Pivotree.
What do you love doing outside work?
Outside of work, my primary interest is sports. Namely, formula 1, soccer, and basketball. Just to clarify, I love watching these sports and following them but I am not any good at any of them. I do love working out and it is something I have been into for a couple of years now. Lastly, I do enjoy video games on my PlayStation and board games with friends as a nice way to unwind at the end of the day.
What program and team are you a part of, and what kind of work are you doing as an Intern at Pivotree?
I am currently a part of the marketing team and more specifically focus on our corporate marketing efforts. This includes marketing efforts across all business units (Pivotree as a whole). I’ve got the opportunity to work on our blog topics, SEO, website optimization, the automotive aftermarket campaign, internal communications, site analytics, and social media. I’ve also been given a chance to assist other members of the marketing team.
How did you hear about Pivotree’s internship opportunity and why did you decide to apply?
I heard about it because a family member of mine works at Pivotree and I was seeking a co-op position for school. As part of my program, I am required to complete a summer internship. It turned out to be a perfect opportunity as Pivotree as a company is doing some amazing things and is on a rigorous growth path. This is my first time with marketing experience at a Canada-based company and I have always wanted to work for an in-house marketing team rather than work at a marketing agency. I was also enticed by the exciting learning opportunities that this role provided.
What has been your favorite experience so far?
My favorite experience has not been the work I’ve done. I was lucky enough to be part of the ‘trending on social’ linkedin experiment which brings together a handful of people and see how they can help each other grow their LinkedIn presence. As someone who is new to the Canadian job market and generally struggles to stay active on Linkedin, it has been a great boost of motivation and has pushed me to get more active on LinkedIn.
In what ways do you feel supported?
As someone who does not come from a very technical background, my team has been very understanding and supportive. They have given me an opportunity to learn at a pace I am comfortable with. My team encourages me to reach out to them for any help and at the same time is very encouraging and values my opinions.
How has your internship at Pivotree shaped your educational and career goals?
Pivotree has made me sure of my decision to pursue a career in in-house marketing and gave me a deeper insight into marketing in the B2B sense. I am familiar with topics like SEO, social media marketing, and content but now I have got a better understanding of marketing through webinars, events, case studies, and whitepapers.
What advice do you have for students who are interested in interning at Pivotree?
I have had a great experience at Pivotree and would surely recommend any student to pursue an internship here. There is an amazing work culture and a strong team spirit with all members working in great cohesion. There is a lot to learn and there are great opportunities to grow as a professional. It’s a supportive and effective working environment with an emphasis on achieving attainable and well-defined goals.
