good company for work-life balance - Recensione dipendente - Data Engineer presso Ask Applications

- Manager was so helpful and sweet, made sure the work I was doing was on my skill level and also something that I enjoyed - Team was so welcoming and friendly - Loved interacting with other interns - Helped me build up my confidence and skills - Paid internship!!!! Need I say more, felt like they really valued me and my time

Nothing I can think of. I'm super grateful for the opportunity they gave me, especially since I didn't feel like I was "good enough" to get paid for what I did if that makes sense

- Most of the people I worked directly with were smart and friendly. - Free snacks. - They try to use the latest tools However, I would not recommend it even to my worst enemies.

The higher management treated the rest of employees as herd of cattle. There is no transparency at all, so the work environment is bit creepy where you never feel safe and settled in. The hiring managers painted the picture that the company is doing great and wanted to expand because they have a lot features and ideas to build. However, after joining and leaving my other full time job, the higher management decided reduce expenses by cutting on resources. So I was laid off along with about 30 others. Even the lay off process was unprofessional and disrespectful, and shows that they only care about much they can keep in there pocket. Everyone was called into one meeting and given a 5 minute speech informing us that it would be our last day of employment. Using cutting technologies was great. However, there was disconnect on the actual requirements and some of the developers worked as solo cowboy coders, so it was hard to make code reusability.
