LaunchCode reviews about "coworker"

LaunchCode provides free education in 4 (soon to be 6) markets. Currently hosting free computer science classes at University of Rhode Island, Miami Dade College, University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) and multiple locations in St. Louis. LaunchCode has set up apprenticeships for 450+ people in multiple states at companies like Boeing, MasterCard and Riot Games. This work does not just happen without a dedicated workforce of people committed to solving the tech talent gap in this country. LaunchCode staff is exactly this. I like my coworkers, the mission and helping people better their lives through education and job opportunities they may not have otherwise had. I can't think of a more flexible work environment with a group of smart people trying to make the world a better place.

Being a full-time employee that works for LaunchCode on building the classes that students take has been very rewarding. Having a job that has a clearly positive impact on my community is quite different that simply having a normal programming job. I feel empowered by management. The vibe in the office is positive and focused on helping people take free classes and hopefully get their first job in tech. PTO and medical benefits are good.
