GA-CCRi (General Atomics Commonwealth Computer Research, Inc.)

Frontend Software Engineer

June 2020 - August 2021 • Charlottesville, VA

What I liked

Very chill company culture, they allowed pets, dressing casually, anything as long as we contributed to our teams. They also had a lot of roles that a new grad could go into if they wanted as the company is expanding a lot especially now that they were acquired by General Atomics. The work was very interesting too although interns weren't cleared which limited the things that they could work on

What I wish was different

I wish they updated their frameworks faster. Their frontend still used an old version of AngularJS that made the learning curve pretty steep and does not translate directly to framework knowledge that will be useful right away when going to another company.
