Great experience - Software Engineer Sansay Employee Review

A good combination of freedom, creativity and leadership

I have no cons for this company

One thing that really surprised me working at Sansay was that every single employee is extremely creative and extremely active. There's a very clear divide between work and life. Just in the first week you feel like you've been an employee for a year. You get acclimated with the company very quickly. The engineers are very well-balanced. I have evidence that people really are the best thing at Sansay. The internship helped me develop basic software engineering skills that I wouldn't have otherwise learned from school projects (how to code search efficiently, how to unit test properly, how to use version control systems, etc.). I had a lot of responsibility. It was a little overwhelming because I was doing all these things I had never done before. I learned technologies like Javascript, Jquery, Mercury, Linux and many more. I wasn't as experienced as a Web Application developer as Sansay's full-time engineers, so it took me some time before I could fully contribute to the team. But my co-workers were very understanding and my mentor was always there for encouragement. Sansay is really looking for experience. They want to find engineers who are motivated, so activities outside of school really help. At the same time, you need to know your basics. You need to understand simple algorithms and how to apply them. Sansay is all about application. I'm very grateful for what I've learned at Sansay and I strongly recommend their internship program to any student wishing to become a software engineer in the near future.

Pay rate could have been a little better depending upon the complexity of work you are exposed to.
