Has an amazing work culture.

Working in an agile scrum team was very fun and fast-paced. The co-op program was excellent.

They provided us with everything from housing to transport.

It's a very good company to start your career. They encourage you to work in departments or fields you're interested in.

Worked in a courtyard, alongside other developers, not really confined to cubicles or anything. Plus, the Nerf battles were fun.

There was a lot of communication and bimonthly one-on-ones with my manager to talk about work and anything and everything.

The onboarding process took longer than expected, but that's to be expected if you start work during peak season. Everyone is busy with production bugs, and you're too new to help them as well.

I never got my exit interview, which I was told I would have, but it was just brushed under the rug.

The company apparently had constant reorganizations, which affected me seriously when my co-op report was due. There was no one I worked with who could readily supply the feedback my college needed.

So, you could say, the beginning and the end weren't great.

The co-op program is very good, but remember, it's a learning experience for them and graded by their institution. Sometimes, department changes make us invisible to HR, and we get it in the neck.
