The internships at MMWD are great career opportunities for entry level. I started as an intern at MMWD and personally know 5 other employees that started as interns now in various engineering positions at MMWD. There is a real possibility of advancement into a full time position at MMWD or another organization that I did not find at my other internships. If you preform well you may be promoted and at least will receive a letter of recommendation from your manager and a quality reference. The engineering work will be boring and monotonous at the internship level but if you put in the work and show an interest in advancing your engineering education, this internship can really open up opportunities and connections that will benefit a budding career.

There are some extremely hard working,  skilled and talented people at MMWD who understand the meaning of accountability and integrity, but none of them are in management. Employees are leaving for other organizations or retiring early due to this. In the customer service department 4 senior employees left in 5 weeks starting last December and another in August. The IT staff of 8 (manager excluded) has had 4 leave in the last year or so. The Corte Madera offices are a toxic work environment. 

If I could give this company zero stars I would. Upper management is the worst I have ever worked for. They leave you in fear for your job every single day. No clear communication and when asked direct questions on how to improve work performance are met with blank stares. This has single handedly been the worst job experience of my life. The workplace culture is atrocious. Overtime is mandatory and disguised as voluntary. The pay is not worth this type of stress. Do better. 

Every day I get to work in one of the most beautiful places in Marin County.  I like the staff, and feel that there is a culture of willingness to teach new employees the skills required to succeed.  Once you pay your dues, you can have a great position with good benefits with room to continue to develop yourself.

The hardest part, was going on service calls to a disabled vehicle and working in the field rain or shine.. Lots of overtime was available and lots of work in inclement weather....

For the Fisheries Department 90% of your time is spent in the field collecting data on native salmonids. Very little work is done in the office other than entering data and QA/QCing.

Was a summer intern while in college. It was a good opportunity to get insight into what my career field entails. Although I did not feel as though I was challenged, work I was assigned was mostly very menial.

Not a bad place to work if you like a mafia type workplace. I was there for a year and learned a lot. If you plan on working at this organization keep your head down and your mouth shut.

Most of the people are pleasant.  However, given that it is a public agency, there is not the same commitment to excellence one might find in the private sector.
