Hate this job, man. Part of it is because my bootcamp left me unprepared. But they also provide ZERO training at this place. The Glassdoor reviews were 100% accurate, and I should have given them more consideration. The pay is decent, as are the benefits. But there is so much disorganization going on. In 6 months, I've been on three different teams. Each team has come with a completely different project/code base, so basically starting from scratch with each switch. And they have changed their business processes multiple times. A Fortune 500 that wants to play like the big boys but still try to cling on to some mirage of being a start-up culture. I am used to direct customer/client interactions, and they finessed me into believing I would have some of those opportunities here. Bout to just end my grad school deferment and get the certificate to practice school social work. IT for me represented a way to connect youth to a promising career. Since I have teaching, advising, and counseling experience, I can leverage my role as a School Social Worker into an opportunity to teach 2 courses: 1.) College and Career Prep and 2.) Social-Emotional Development/Life Skills.
