Illumination Works

“Illumination Works is a small data consultancy company that was founded in 2006. I worked as a Data Engineer/Data Scientist at the company and was tasked with using and scoring named entity recognition (NER) models in Python. I was also a part of a team, so I had to research, attend meetings, and work with peers on a number of tasks. The company has an excellent onboarding process, as they invite you to the office and introduce you to a number of coworkers. One of the most important things to the company is that it is a family, everyone is treated the same because you deserve to be there and have put in the work to be at the company. Between coworkers, there is excellent communication and everyone utilizes Microsoft Teams all the time. If you have questions or concerns there is always someone that can help you. Another great thing was if you needed time off, the managers are very understanding and in most cases will grant the time off. There are lots of things that the company does extremely well. ”
