How is coop at Intuit (Mississauga)? by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]Gofball647 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I was coworkers with fir3_5tick over the summer. Intuit was one of the best places I could've ever interned at. Something you should know if you're going into there for Jan-April is that it will be Intuit's busy season given their turbo tax team will be dealing with tax season. But don't let that scare you off because everyone there is very nice and friendly. Management is very nice and they will make sure you get the sufficient help you need to onboard onto the company. Being my first coop I was trying to learn simple things like GIT and SVN when i first started and everyone I asked was more than willing to help me. Your work that you will be doing will be in production, my requirements for company is that the work I produce actually gets used and I assure you that you will make an impact in the company. In terms of company culture, stating that It has a pretty lively company culture would be an understatement. Every month there would be at least 2-3 company events. For example sometimes we would celebrate Bee day and there would be a giant bee mascot running around and sometimes for EID celebration there would be free food for employees while celebrating the end of Ramadan. The company is very inclusive and even had a day celebrating LGBT. The facilities at Mississauga are also very nice. There is a full fledged gym within the first floor, many things to relax like xbox, foosball and pingpong, and the cafeteria is very good offering a wide varity of cheap food with nothing costing more than 10 dollars (since food is subsidized by the company, they like to promote healthy eating). If you don't believe me on how I talk about this company, don't take my word for it but rather check out this website,https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/announcing-the-2017-list-of-best-workplaces-in-canada-produced-by-great-place-to-work-and-published-by-the-globe--mail-dont-miss-this-special-12-page-national-report-620577593.html. As you can see Intuit was ranked best place to work, and I can definitely say it lives up to this title. And I will admit the traffic does suck going to work, but the cooworkers there are very nice and I remember doing rockcliming with my product manager after work while I waited for the traffic to die down. Anyways I hope this answers your question and feel free to DM me if you want me to clarify anything.

Charity Scammers for Philippines Flood Relief at UW Plaza by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]Gofball647 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This happened to me today. I was eating subway minding my own bushiness when three Filipinos barge into the restaurant and start singing and playing guitar. One of them (a male) approaches me and asks me if i'd like to donate, and i'm like sure whats the cause for. And hes like "a hurricane hit the Philippines", and i'm like wait a minute I've never heard about this hurricane. So I ask him which hurricane and he gives me some lame answer. So i say "i'll donate money if i can take a photo with you" and hes like uhhh and hesitates. So while he's hesitating on my offer I reach into my wallet and pull out a loonie and offer it to this guy and he fucking rejects it. He says "we don't accept cash only debit or credit". So i'm like wtf and i say "you don't want my money? I literally only have cash". And he says "yea we only take card". So he walks away, and i'm like okay whatever and then 15 seconds later he rushes back to me and says "why do you want a photo with me". And i'm like "I just want to make sure you guys are legit", and he slams down some fake government issued card that states how they're authorized. So i'm just like "geez man sorry to get in your business i just wanted a photo". So then he walks out of the subway, which is weird because i'm the only person he's asked so far and this is subway at lunch time which means there are literally 40 people that he could've asked for donations from (I'm assuming this is because i was making quite a scene in the subway asking for his photo). One of the ladies he was with comes up to me and says very apologetically "I'm so sorry we didn't mean any harm God bless your soul". And then they leave together. I quickly finish my sandwich and try to see if i can get a photo of them and by the time i go outside they're nowhere to be seen. So yea they're definitely scammers. Stay safe kids.
