Hi uwaterloo, I'm a lurker at this subreddit just for mainly coop information as I don't go to Waterloo. However, I was just wondering since you guys are really knowledgeable at coop if you can answer my question. Basically I was rejected this upcoming May for a work term at a company and I was wondering if its suitable for me to reapply for September. Just to let you guys know, this is a relatively small-midsize company. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks

Long story short, I've been involved in a big legal battle between the city and my landlord this term, and because of that I've missed a lot of class and have been exhausted from all of the proceedings and paperwork that have been involved so far. If I drop down to 3 courses, can I still maintain a QEII scholarship, and will any future OSAP applications be affected? I am also asking SAFA, but would like to hear any experiences from you guys as well.

Alright, so I applied to the program, but I am still a little iffy about the program and I have some questions. 1. Is it likely that I can find a job after I graduate? 2. How does the co-op work? (If I get a job, does it end up being full time or part time, who do I have to talk to about co-op at school etc.) 3. The schedule looks kinda packed, with studying and then working or working and then studying, is there enough time to just kinda relax sometimes? 4. If I dont get a job for co-op, does that affect anything about graduating or my marks?

This might just be a frosh perspective, but in comparison to other science courses BIOL 130 takes everything so seriously! Tutorials are mandatory, the essay prerequisites don't give marks, but are for some reason still necessary, and marks are deducted for EVERYTHING: stuff like forgetting your watcard or filling in your scantron wrong. So what gives? My CHEM and PHYS classes have been so chill by comparison. Have the professors just had a really tough time with Bio kids?

Hi guys I'm first year Mech eng in stream 4 currently on COOP. I got my position pretty late in the first week on January where the term started one week in already. I read the job description and it had Solid Edge and AutoCAD and welding. However when I started this job I've been constantly doing just paperwork. When my academic adviser came to visit, I told him about my current situation and he had talked to my boss (whom is a mech eng waterloo alumi) about what my position should have to do more with engineering rather than paperwork. A week after it went pretty well, I learned a bit of welding and got a Solid Edge project. Then I talked to some workers in the shop about what I was modeling, and it felt like it was some pity project to get my adviser off the case. Now I'm back doing retarded paperwork and my other boss is being a total douche. And everyday in the office, I get racist jokes being Asian and homophobic slurs directed at me too. When I went back on jobmine to recheck the job description, they had changed it completely deleting all descriptions about solid edge and engineering work! I just emailed my adviser about what to do, but I came here looking for experiences of actual students similar to mine. TL;DR My coop has barely anything to do with engineering, but I'm in first year. They snaked the job description and the office environment is like a hick ghetto high school.

Hey guys, I have two internship offers for software development. First one is at SAP (Waterloo or Toronto), I'll basically be put in a room of 10 other interns and two mentors and there would be a list of projects given to the office, maybe developing stuff for X company so I'm not particularly sure which technology I'll be using. As for XE, I'll be doing web or mobile development for their currency conversion website. I'll have a mentor and their development team is really small ~20. So, which offer shall I take? I heard mixed reviews about SAP and didn't hear much about XE so I appreciate any help. I am looking for the place where I might actually learn more, have better networking opportunities,etc. Also is "XE.com" recognized in terms of having it on my resume compared to SAP? Thanks a lot.

Hi, I'm trying to decide which one would be a better learning experience (my position would be software developer at both). I know that at Pelmorex I'll be working on a bunch of different little projects (ex. Adding a feature to TWN app) and seeing how it goes. It's basically an R&D job where you try making something, and if the higher ups like it you keep going with it otherwise scratch it. I'll be working with 2 other interns and a full time developer mentor. At Guidewire I'll be working on one of 3 projects with other interns and one mentor, but I'm in one room with a bunch of other full time developers as well. The projects are basically an IDE, a system that calculates and displays data in a pretty graphical layout, and a sandbox type system. I'll be paid 16.55-17/hr at TWN (they said their budget is tight) and idk about Guidewire. If you've worked at either, anything about the work environment, salary, or learning experience would be really appreciated. The Pelmorex job is in Oakville (HQ) and Guidewire is in Missisuaga. But any other opinions would be great as well!

Hey /r/uwaterloo! As some of you know, the Conservative party is currently trying to fast-track Bill C-51 through parliament, which while disguised as a bill to "protect Canadians from terrorism", is far more overreaching, threatening freedoms of speech, association, removes safety measures on pharmaceuticals, would allow non-elected officials to create and enforce laws, allows for non-consensual searches, and more. (Main thread in /r/Canada [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/canada/comments/2x71a9/i_am_planning_canada_wide_protests_for_c51_and/), official website for Stop C-51 [here](http://www.stopc51.com/beinformed.aspx).) Under Bill C-51, **many criticisms of the government will be considered acts of threatening the state, and even terrorism**, which would remove our rights to criticize government policy, organize in ways opposed to government policy, or otherwise talk about policy or philosophy views opposed to those of the government. It is crucial that students, especially, stand up to the removal of our civil liberties, and let both the government and the university know that we disapprove of the measures included in Bill C-51, and that public disapproval needs to be voiced. If anyone would be interested in organizing an on-campus presence to raise awareness of the bill, and to push the university to make a formal statement against it, let me know in this thread and we can start arranging things! If you have contacts within FEDS or WPIRG, your help is especially wanted!

Hi everyone, 1B CS student here, I have offers from a startup in Cali to do mainly web development, D2L where I'll be able to work on a Machine Learning project and a quant analyst position in NYC that seems a lot of fun as well. My main interests at the moment are in distributed systems and machine learning. Here's the deal, should I optimize for learning or prestige? I have done ton of web dev and I think that I am starting to plateau, I want to learn new things. D2L seems an obvious first choice but I am worried about making a bad decision on the long-term. Basically, if I optimize for prestige and take a job unrelated to my current interest but that is in the US, isn't that likely to yield better learning outcomes for my future co-ops because I will qualify (in the eyes of employers) for the most interesting jobs in the states? D2L seems like a really cool company though and I am likely to learn a bunch of very interesting things, also rent is cheaper in loo. I have a pretty limited view of the employer landscape and I would really appreciate the input of more experienced people on this. Maybe I am totally overthink this but I'd like to know what you think. PS: I don't want to sound like I am whining or anything, I am super grateful that for some odd reasons those companies made me offer. I just want to make the best choice for me.

Hi! I'm a computer engineering student who is eveventually interested in obtaining an internship from a big software company (Microsoft, Google, etc). Unfortunately, I did not receive anything this time, but I did manage to receive offers from Blackberry (Ottawa) and NetSuite (company located near SF). Keeping my ultimate goal in mind, I was hoping if one of you experienced fellows can help me with my decision. In terms of actual work, both jobs seem to be very interesting. With Blackberry, the pro I see is that it is a well-known company and it might help me obtain interviews from bigger companies in the future. With NetSuite, I can have a chance to enjoy a hardcore entrepreneurial environment which would also be beneficial. Again, I am quite inexperienced with this stuff so please correct me if I'm wrong! But essentially, what do you think would be more beneficial towards my ultimate goal, (considering that the actual work to be done is very similar)?

Today, I realized that not only can we tell how many job offers we have on Jobmine, but we can actually see exactly which jobs have given offers. REPRO STEPS: 1) Go to applications 2) Sort by App Status 3) Note that any "Applied" statuses are at the top, and any "Selected"/"Scheduled" statuses are at the bottom. The reason this happens is because jobs are still being sorted alphabetically by app status. Why are the blanks being sorted above things that start with S? The sorting uses the actual words in those boxes, even though they are substituted with spaces. So, offers come before rankings. So now, we use Jobmine glitch part 1 to see how many offers are (say n) and then the top n jobs with "Ranking Completed" are the offers.

Hi, before applying on jobmine, one professor says he is willing to take co-op student so I applied. In case the NSERC application is not successful, I proceed the same time with Jobmine. The NSERC application for the first job is now at the dean to be approved but the offer hasn't come yet. Now I'm given an offer on jobmine for another research job on campus (which I'm very interested in). What should I do now? I prefer to go to the second one but what should I tell the first professor?....Thanks!

Hey guys, I was recently given an offer of admissions for the Global Business and Digital Arts program at Waterloo and seriously considering it because it seems like a really cool and unique program. However, I am not 100% sure about some aspects of the program. For one the tuition seems very high (about $11,000) for one academic year, and also the fact that students will be in Stratford full time for the final 2 years of study. I was hoping someone would be able to help me by perhaps giving me their opinion of the program based on experience in the program. Specifically on if they are enjoying the program and if they feel like the program is preparing for a job relevant to the field that they are pursuing. (e.g. the business field, graphic design, e-commerce, etc.) I am aware that there is a paid internship offered by the program and was wondering if anyone could tell me what that experience is like and what life in Stratford is like as well. It's between this program and a B. Comm program at University of Guelph that is offering me co-op and I'm just looking for people with experience in the GBDA program to give me their opinion of it.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share an experience I had on JobMine and I would like to hear from people who have had something similar happen to them. Words of advice from upper years would also be greatly appreciated :). I'm originally from Vancouver, BC, and while I know I shouldn't be picky about the location of my coop placement, I was hoping to land a job in Vancouver. Luckily enough, I was able to get an interview and did well on it -- to a point where I was confident that I would get ranked or even an offer. The days following this interview, I checked JobMine on a daily basis (after learning about the JobMine glitch) hoping that I might get ranked. There were no updates for about 2~3 weeks until last Tuesday. The job application was suddenly **cancelled**. I emailed the interviewer and asked him if there had been an error and he replied that the spot had been filled by a student from UBC. Apparently in UBC, students do not have to wait for rankings and can receive offers immediately after their interviews. Hence, because the rankings were too slow to match me or any other potential Waterloo student with that employer, we essentially lost the opportunity to work for this company. What really disappointed me was that the interviewer informed me I was highly ranked. I find it very ironic that JobMine, a system that is meant to be advantageous to Waterloo students, was the reason I may have lost the opportunity to work for a company I really wanted to work for. Has anyone else experienced something similar? What are your thoughts on this matter? Should I consider going into the continuous round to pursue other Vancouver jobs? **TL;DR**: Company interviewed me, cancelled their job application weeks later. Was notified that I was ranked high but JobMine was too slow for them so they hired someone from UBC.

Job Application Cancelled Weeks After Completing Interviews.

2xbfig

Hi everyone! It's near the end of the first round of interviews, and I've got a couple of questions about how to rank my interviews: I have offers from companies A, B, and C, and rankings from a bunch of other companies. Company A called me saying that I am the only candidate whom they gave an offer/ranking to. Would it still be possible for me to get a job I was ranked for if I rank the offers 9? (I want the ranked jobs more q_q) I heard from some of my friends that if an employer gave one offer and no rankings, the person would pretty much be stuck with his offers. So I'm thinking do I HAVE TO rank another offer 1 and company A's offer >1 to avoid going to company A? Thanks in advance for your insights! EDIT: Thanks for the inputs so far! So I think I only have two choices, depending on how jobmine ACTUALLY works: 1. If jobmine works as it claims to (matches lowest sum), then I should rank my ranked jobs low numbers, rank companies B and C somewhere between 2 and 8, and rank company A 9 to maximize my chances of getting a good job. 2. If jobmine works by maximizing the number of co-op students that gets matched to employers, then I should rank one of companies B and C 1 as it will be the only way to avoid getting company A. This will be extremely disappointing as there will be no chances of getting any of my 9 ranked jobs, most of which I would really prefer :( So...which way do you think jobmine works? Lowest sum or maximum matches?

So here's the situation. I don't have anyone to love with so I've been looking at the housing groups in facebook trying to see if I could find something. I came across two guys who are looking for a third roommate. I am hesitant to say yes to these guys just for worry of not having the most compatible personalities since we don't know each other and are in different faculties. The place they are looking at is also a little far for my liking. So my question is whether I should take them up on their offer now to ensure I have a place to live in the fall, or should I just wait till August and try to find a sublet, while I would much rather prefer the security of having my own lease. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated! EDIT: Should have clarified that I'm looking for a place for both Fall 2015 and Winter 2016, I'm on regular stream.

Based on the Jobmine glitch (which I know isn't 100% accurate), I believe I have an offer from Company A and a rank from Company B. I want Company B more than Company A, but I wouldn't mind Company A. If I give Company A a 2, then the algorithm would be 1+2. I would be giving Company B a 1 and hope that whoever got the offer gives it a higher number. However, if they accept the offer, what are my chances of getting Company A still? (Assuming the rank 2 person for A gives it a 1, both our algorithms will still be a form of 1+2/2+1, so who would get it?) I don't know what rank I received for B, but if it's 2 and the offer person gives it a 2+, then which algorithm would "win" if they are both 1+2 (A)/2+1(B)?

I'm a grade 12 student and I'm trying to decide between electrical engineering and physics at Waterloo. I've been accepted into both, and one of the factors I'm considering for my decision is the co-op opportunities available in the physics program. So, physics students, I'd like to know: what co-op jobs have you worked and what important skills did you develop? Thank you.

Question for Physics Co-op Students

Hey guys, I recently did an internal transfer from Engineering to Math, specifically into CS. I heard back today and while I was accepted into the program, I wasn't given co-op back so I'll just be in the regular program. As far as I know, the only way to get back into co-op is by getting a pretty high average and re-applying for it at the end of my 1B term. My average is *okay* but nothing exceptional, and after talking to an advisor it seems like I wont be able to make the cutoff for getting back into co-op without anything short of a miracle. So my question, is what should I do in this situation? It seems unlikely I'll get co-op and I am worried that'll make things a lot more difficult in terms of post-degree work. I really do enjoy what I'm doing with CS and math (this term I took a math degree term), but I'm worried it wont be worth it compared to my peers who will all be doing co-op and such. Any opinions or suggestions on the topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I think this issue has arisen before at other places ex. Itamae, but just wanted to point out to people that the place called "Sugarlicious" in the Linden Square at 203 Lester. They place a service charge on your bill and still tries to get tips from you either from a tip jar or from your card payments. Just wondering if there's any laws that regulate this shady way of doing business. BTW, their service isn't good either. EDIT: They don't tell you about the service charge, even when they do delivery.

I have 3 offers, one in USA. USA job is network engineering, whereas one in Canada is Databases and one is Network and Telecom. Converting what I would make in the US at the bank exchange rate today, less the subsidized rent I would get in USA from the company, (travel to USA and Visa expenses incl.), less local transit expenses, I stand to make about 1500 CAD more than I would in Canada, excluding food in the US, but including transit costs in Canada. But in Canada I would live at home and commute. In the US I'd have to buy food and cook, in Canada it's sorta covered. I'm not sure what to do. All options are good. Is it worth going to US if I'll save as much, maybe slightly more/less than if I stayed home here in Canada? US job is in NY. //also I opted out of Feds insurance bc I didn't need it and had coverage through parents work. So would I absolutely have to buy USA insurance? That's extra cost too... TIA.

I'm a first year student in math/business (FARM), and in the co-op process this term, I only received one offer from the one interview I was called in for. It's a job for the CRA...

I don't know if I should take the job or rank it 9, because most likely someone does want this job or lives near by...

Hello, I'm currently in my 1B term. I have an offer from a Toronto company for a QA position and I've been ranked for several development positions. Some of my interviewers have yet to submit their rankings, however. My question: Should I take the QA position OR rank it high and rank the dev positions low and hope that I'll get matched for the dev jobs. The QA company is in downtown Toronto, a somewhat young but pretty big company with a ton of perks such as a gym, cafe, and free food. It's a pretty great environment. It's also a intermediate/senior position. The development positions are mostly junior level, and quite frankly, the environment doesn't look as nice and the pay will probably be lower. However, I heard that if you get a dev position for your first co-op then it'll be easier to get bigger companies for your second. Should I take the QA or try for a dev position? Are dev positions much better than QA for first-coops? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

So I'm on my co-op term right now. I was expected to make roughly $8000 gross profit from my job. Problem is I blew almost $5000 on something illegal. Unfortunately, these things don't come with any receipts. And I can't claim it for tax purposes. So after paying for my expenses and shit. I'll probably have under $2000 left. I'm in Engineering and my tuition fees for next semester will most likely be $8000. I don't know how the hell I'll be able to afford this shit. I can't ask my parents as they think I'll have enough. Plus, I come from a poor family and they won't be able to help. Should I see a mental health counsellor and tell them everything? Or apply for OSAP and hope I get enough?

So I'm torn between 2 offers that I have. One is for a company located in Toronto but the office seems kinda sketchy. From what I can tell it is located in a house. The pay though is pretty great for a job( I'm in 1B) and well above the average and the business is owned by a uwaterloo prof so I'm assuming it will still exist in may. The other offer is from an older company which is well established and which is located in Newmarket. I don't know the salary for this job but it is labeled as intermediate/senior. My question is will it look better next coop to have worked for a startup like company even though it is seemingly nonexistent(oh ya they technically don't have a website and I would be doing work for one of their partners).

Hey everyone, The jobs are all web dev with Javascript, Node, and various front end frameworks. I'm in third year and I'd prioritize making my resume look better to future employers over compensation now and other factors. My other coop jobs have all been at small, startup-ish tech companies in Canada. The recruiting firm is in San Francisco which might look good on a resume (?), whereas the other companies are all in Canada but are more technical and have recognizable names (with the exception of the record label, which just sounds fun to work for). What do you think is the best option? Thanks for your advice!

EDIT: My problem has been addressed, if anyone has taken the course before though it'd be cool to hear your experiences. Someone has to have signed up for this aside from me. Why is it so disorganized? No one at my academic advisor's office knew about it and even advised me against submitting one of the forms. The course description said there would be an interview and information sessions to determine if a student was fit for the course. Instead, I received an email asking if I ever considered studying in China, and when I looked at the site it turned out it was a trip for anyone, but could also be for EASIA 250R if you indicated so on your application. I applied and ended up submitting all my forms but have heard NOTHING. The site says I should hear the result of my application on February 23rd. I didn't hear anything, so I asked the person in charge who told me "in two days". Two days has passed and the first payment towards the tuition is due tomorrow. Still nothing. Is this just happening to me? Did my application never reach? I've paid a non-refundable $225 so far but if they can't even provide proof that my application was seen I want my money back. This course was not as advertised. Even worse is that my parents and friends are convinced the trip is a scam, pulling in as many applications as possible to get the $200 registration fee without the intention to let these people in (the application for non-UW students even encourages going with friends, family, and spouses). I have no way of disproving this. This is so fucking stressful. Someone, please tell me you have information about this trip/course.

So I only applied for 4 jobs on JobMine because I was planning to look for opportunities outside of it, but that didn't quite work out as planned... Anyway, so 2 of the 4 jobs I applied to asked me to do an interview. One interview was weeks ago, and I found out on Friday that they gave me an offer. My second interview, however, just got back to me on Tuesday, and they want the interview off-campus this upcpming Thursday - I guess they're basically doing it outside the system. And this is the job I want more than the one that gave me an offer. But since rankings are closed tomorrow, I have to respond to my offer... If I rank my offer a 9, is there any chance I can be not matched with this job? Or is there somehow a way to hold off responding until I've had all of my interviews?

It seems that quite a few of you are interested in the quality of the food provided at the plaza. Here is a summary of the data from the Public Health website for the Region of Waterloo. This time I sorted the data based on a sum of the non-critical and the critical infractions. Of course, the weighting function is arbitrary and my own creation. If you like it, I can repeat the report run once every term, or someone automates it.

PSA: Public Health's reports on the UW Plaza food places

They already emailed me an offer and I accepted it. On jobmine, I got matched, and it's "official" to Waterloo. Should I still email them or will they email me? (Or wait 2 days and then email them?)

Do you email the employer after getting matched or do they email you? (Big company)
