Great learning during internship - Internship EASYPAY GROUP Employee Review

- You don’t need a bachelor or master degree to get in. If you’ve taken night courses or learned how to program online on your own, you could get hired - Actually not that high a knowledge of French required - They have a badge system, so any overtime you do is registered - Free soup, coffee and tea

- Misleading recruitement policy: they had - and apparently still have - a job opening for java developers. Once you get hired, it turns out that their code is all in COBOL and that you’ll be very lucky if you get to write java for 5 days in a month, because you’ll be writing COBOL programs virtually all the time. Their job opening should be called “Cobol developer” and have java listed as a plus. - They have a system of code templates for both COBOL and HTML. The problem with this is that you are no longer writing real code, but instead are just replacing XXX and YYY by some other values. This way it is hard to get a good understanding of COBOL. - Low starter pay, varying from 2000 to 2300 € a month - No possibility to get a company car as those are only for management and software installers who go on-site - No phone - No laptop - Very vague about personnal growth trajectory - Staff demographic is rather old with around 40 being the average age, so don’t expect any wild company parties To sum it all up: With the little amount of Java coding you get to do here, you’ll start to forget your Java knowledge and the templates will learn you very little. This is a place where you will learn to forget until you are stuck like the many 45+ year olds there, clocking in at 7.30 and leaving at 16.30, afraid no other company will pay them the same for their work and thus staying in their job whilst counting down the years to retirement. You can use this company as an entry into working as a programmer, just don’t get too comfortable and get out after you feel you’ve learnt all there is to learn here.
