Ocient

Ocient enables you to have a direct impact on our customers by providing an invaluable service. Everybody's work has meaning and is essential.

Ocient's management provides you with the tools to get the work done. Also, my manager is supportive of my ideas and encourages me to pursue them. My manager listens to my feedback and incorporates it in the action plan.

Working at Ocient enables me to juggle my family's scheduling commitments in the morning and afternoon. I feel free to work when it is convenient for me and when I can focus. Also, I can work where I feel most productive.

Ocient is working on some challenging projects, and as an intern here, I was happy that they did not obscure any of it from me! Many of the projects are individually developed and completely flushed out on a team-by-team basis. If you believe you have an idea to improve the product, then everyone around you will give you the support you need to bring the idea to fruition.

Everyone here asks for support and gives support. If I wanted to chat about career opportunities, mental health, why compilation takes so long, how cats are better than dogs, etc., I can easily set up a chat with anyone at Ocient. It can be the CTO, an HR Manager, or a C++ enthusiast from a team I haven't interacted with before. Ocient is really just one big team.

At Ocient, everyone speaks their mind. Leadership will not hide any setbacks, and interns are expected to ask questions when stuck. There's no judgement. The best minds here at Ocient often reach out for help, and the transparency and honestly is what makes us so special.

The people at Ocient bring valuable experience and knowledge from their previous experiences. I've learned a lot from my coworkers while working here.

I'm working on ELT/ETL at Ocient. The close integration between loading and the database itself enables some really neat capabilities that competing solutions just can't provide.

A significant engineering effort is required to meet Ocient's intent to make it easier, faster, and more affordable to analyze unprecedented quantities of data in a performant manner.

Some of the smartest people I've ever worked with. Engineers here learn quickly, communicate effectively, and collaborate often. There'll always be somebody you can learn from.

Managing data at high scale is difficult. Ocient is building technology to solve problems that have never been solved before, which is very exciting and very challenging.

In my experience, you can reach out to anybody in the company with an opinion or proposition, and they'll take the time to brainstorm and discuss it. It makes no difference whether you're an intern or a senior engineer - you and your ideas will be respected.
