Those who did co-op with the Government, how is it?
Hello! I’m just curious on the overall work experience with the government. I’ve seen a handful of people who are working co op with the government.
So I wanted to know if you enjoy working there and how the working condo are for a student developer?

There is a big difference between provincial and federal government.
It's got a lot of pay deductions (Union, health, pension etc) but I enjoy the work so it balances out
No provincial holidays either
I enjoyed my time working with the provincial government, though my position was Business Analyst so I didn’t do any coding. The work environment was chill, you get to work from 3 days a week. Though before I was leaving it looked like they were changing to 2 days.
How did you land that position? Did you have a lot of projects or good grades?
No i didn’t do any extra projects, my gpa was a 3.7.
