Wonderful place to learn - Software Engineer(Internship) Code42 Employee Review

Innovative product, great leadership, transparent and highly collaborative culture.

No cons. Code42 was a great place to work.

Work / life balance was great in that we only had to endure 2 days in the office.

Ugh, where do I even begin with this place? Let me tell you, being shown the door at Code42 was less of a professional departure and more of a public execution. They literally gathered everyone in the office just so those of us being laid off could do the "walk of shame" past all our soon-to-be-ex-colleagues. Real classy move. And let's not pretend this was some unforeseen tragedy. The writing has been on the wall for ages. No profits for the past two years? Surprise, surprise, no bonuses either. You'd think that kind of financial reality would breed some humility in leadership, but nope. They seemed almost gleeful about the stress and uncertainty they were causing with these surprise layoffs. Seriously, the smiles on some of their faces were unsettling. The culture there? Don't even get me started. "Supportive" and "warm" are not words I would ever associate with that place. It was a constant battle, every person for themselves, scrambling to stay afloat in a sea of vague responsibilities. My actual work was a tangled mess of confusing duties that seemed to change on a whim. Oh, and the cherry on top of this whole dumpster fire? Layoffs every six months! You could practically set your watch by the next round of departures. It created this constant undercurrent of fear and instability. Honestly, if you're looking for a stable, supportive, and well-managed company, steer clear of Code42. You'll save yourself a lot of stress and avoid the lovely experience of the corporate "walk of shame." Trust me on this one.
