Pros

As a co-op, first time or otherwise, you'll learn a lot in a very short time. Also, working here exposes you to emergent technologies, and getting to work on something novel is an invaluable experience that is hard to find at larger companies.

Cons

You'll find the same downsides as most startups, but they can be more prominent because of how small this company is. There are a lot of things to do, and not many people to do them, so working longer hours is somewhat inevitable.

Pros

The team at Notch has some of the smartest and most motivated people I've met. They will push you to become a better engineer. The problems that we work on require you to learn on your own and try new solutions.

Cons

Projects come and go quickly as the deadlines are always fast approaching. The work day starts later than at most companies.

Pros

The company culture is extremely welcoming and pleasant, I always come into work happy to see my coworkers The company is very teamwork oriented, and people are always willing to talk about any design difficulties A great place to learn interdisciplinarity within engineering, as a mechanical engineering co-op, I learned a lot about electrical engineering and programming alongside all of the mechanical design I worked on Opportunities for overtime, but never pressured into doing so The CEO is hands on, open-minded, cares about his employees, and is always willing to help with problems that come up in the day to day of engineering work. Each project has different design constraints that allow for each project to remain interesting over time. There is always something to do and something to learn, so I was rarely bored. Everything you work on has genuine impact to the company.

Cons

Given the nature of some of the clients, sometimes the deadlines can be a bit tighter than wanted. That being said, the projects were always rewarding and well managed so that it was still possible to do our best work even under the short timefremes
