Pros

The company is very supportive of their Co-ops and their individual development. I was given relevant and challenging projects on a timely basis to help with my development. I was given the freedom to work on the projects without constant supervision, which gave me the opportunity to be creative.

Cons

The company is extremely large and as a Co-op trying to get in touch with other departments that a project involved was difficult. I also sat behind a desk most of my time, which for me personally was not something I enjoyed.

Pros

Ability to work 100% remote.

Cons

ITAS OTC Manager has no clue how to manage, encourage development, or plan growth. He was too busy trying to keep his skills up and not actually cultivate newcomers and manage well. I felt alone and not supported by my manager. The environment is not great for newcomers to the company. The team supposedly has so much work, but was able to lay me off after returning to work from health event. Complete and utter joke. They do not honor their core values. Beware of this place.
