Le Wagon

As the company scales and grows not just in locations but size and number of students going through bootcamps, there are plenty of opportunities to learn new things and shape new processes/ways of working.

Having come from the social impact sector, I was nervous making a jump to the private sector but working with Le Wagon has meant that I can continue to make an impact in people's lives who want to change their life through code. A mission driven organisation, with fun down to earth people delivering meaningful work each day.

Data is at the heart of Le Wagon, the engineering teams are constantly open to taking requests and ideas of how they can add features to make our lives easier when it comes to capturing data to help shape strategies and inform better decisions

Le Wagon has really strong community values and highly prioritises diversity and inclusion. In the London team we are 70% female (UK industry average is 23% women). Our bootcamps are often 50% women as well. We put a lot into developing an exciting and inclusive events calendar for both students and staff including Pilates, Tech Talks from industry experts, Demo Days where students showcase their final products at the end of the bootcamps, games nights and more. As an employee, the social culture is a real perk. Students and staff quickly become friends, there are opportunities to work flexibly and work with our global branches who we also meet at the global retreat once a year!

As the No.1 Web Development and Data Science bootcamp we are constantly up to date with the latest web dev and data science tools on the market.

As a small start up, everyone gets involved and there is no room for complacency. We have clear roles and responsibilities, but we can't do it on our own so the ability to work in a team is vital at this company.

I love working for Le Wagon because the driving purpose behind our business is to teach people new tech skills, change their careers and ultimately their lives!

At Le Wagon we continue to launch new products and courses to meet the tech demands of the modern workforce. We create innovative new learning formats to grant easy access to our programs for students from different backgrounds.

I get to work as part of the remote friendly Online team, and have the opportunity to work with intelligent, friendly people from around the globe. Limited number of vertical managers and a nobody's off-limits approach to contacting the C-team.

You will own your role and get freedom in execution or initiatives! You can really open up your initial role to new tasks or projects and suggest ideas, not only for you but for the whole team and company!

I learned coding three years ago doing one of our bootcamps, and loved every day since! For me it was important to give back what I experienced, and help others to change their careers - and even lives! - and have the opportunity to learn coding through other ways than universities. A lot of our projects promote tech to under-represented groups, which is very inspiring and motivating!

I love the energy here! Mornings are still mornings... but I have never enjoyed more coming to the office, knowing that I will be well surrounded and get support, advice, jokes, pop-corn and good energy from the rest of the team! ☺️

Our product allows students from diverse background to join - this is also reflected in Le Wagon's employee make up. We have campuses in 46 cities globally, meaning staff bring new ideas and their culture to every interaction, meeting and project.

Le Wagon supports a hybrid model and offers flexibility to staff when it is needed. Work life balance is a conversation that is regularly raised and respected.

Le Wagon hit 200 employees recently! We continue to grow both in campuses and therefore staff. It is amazing to be a part of upskilling the future workforce in being more autonomous in their own careers in tech.

Working in a fast growing company means there's always new projects to take on across a wide set of areas. You also get work regularly with people in different countries who are facing the same challenges, which allows you to learn more about different approaches.

People come to us to change their career/life and leave on a completely different path. Knowing that the work you do is helping people achieve their ambitions and improve their lives is extremely rewarding.

I've never been somewhere where people have so much energy and enthusiasm for the work. People work hard and are ambitious in their roles but also know how to enjoy their work, have fun and celebrate our successes. For me, this is the most valuable asset at Le Wagon.

I joined Le Wagon in the middle of November. From the first day, I feel a lot of support and positive energy. Every time I need help I know I can ask for it. The management is great.

I am impressed by how nice and friendly is team. The Le Wagon team welcomed me in a very warm and nice way. Working with so many people gives you the opportunity to learn and improve.

The energy at Le Wagon is amazing. I can see people working hard but also supporting each other and sharing their problems. I haven't seen anyone be unhappy or sad. I try to be helpful to my colleagues and receive a lot back.
