Amazing place for co-ops
Software Engineer Co-Op • Former Employee

February 5, 2015
Pros: No matter which team you land up with, you will find them amazing. It's not a place where they expect you to code straight 8 hours.
You go to office, have a tea, join scrum, code, lunch, play ping pong, then code, and come back.
Cons: did not have much chance to interact with the people of HQ.
