Business outlook
Pros
Worked in a team environment with plenty of tools available for successfully utilizing the knowledge gained from University in real world situations - contracting with Thomson Reuters Inc, a large, multinational media and information firm, to support development of a commercial software application. The job helps students to get directly into the workforce following graduation and has great compensation for the work put in.
Cons
While some of the programming involved required a more advanced knowledge of coding (Java), much of it was rather basic eg. XML, HTML, CSS. There was also a great amount of freedom of when and how much work you could complete which could lead to less productivity.
