Pros
  • Weekly 2x council meetings allowing people to express their feelings and deal with stressors.
  • Lots of chances to have coffee/mingle with employees, even in a remote workforce.
  • Excellent, dedicated mentorship with people that actually care.
  • Generally informative talks with senior-level staff, always available for questions via email.
  • Approach to product is amazing: there is more emphasis on impact on the consumer's daily life as opposed to just raw daily usage statistics or sales numbers!
Cons
  • Sometimes the scheduling of meetings is changed at the last minute (understandable during the current lockdowns though).

  • The Workday application site is strange and can have long downtimes several times a month.

  • You are not going to learn much Data Structures & Algorithms during your time here.

Advice to Management

It would be cool if there was time set aside with mentors to tackle more algorithm whiteboarding and system design topics.

A good basis in computer science fundamentals applied to the real world would better prepare us all for writing more optimized, production-ready code when it is time to take on full-time SDE/DS/DevOps/InfoSec jobs after graduation.
