Co-op Engineering Term

Electrical Engineer E1 (Co-op) (Former Employee) - Remote - 1 October 2021

I worked at Hedgehog Technologies for a four-month co-op term between the third and fourth years of my undergraduate electrical engineering studies. Working with the Hedgehog team was an awesome experience. I had the opportunity to do a mix of office and field work and was able to contribute to a variety of projects during co-op term. The company has an amazing culture and works on unique and innovative projects. Highly recommended!

Collaborative Team and Hands on Experience

Electrical Technologist (Current Employee) - Burnaby, BC - 2 January 2020

A Hedgehog Technologist doesn't sit at a desk doing design in a office everyday but does end to end client service with Installing, Testing, Troubleshooting and Commissioning Electrical Equipment. Daily work ranges based on the project you are working on. Examples would be working directly with the Electrical Engineering Team to design electrical equipment for field installation, Testing Electrical Equipment post factory build and helping Software Engineers commission and troubleshoot Electrical Equipment in the field. As Hedgehog Technologies is a growing company you might have to work outside your comfort zone a few times and do some on the spot thinking so if you are person that enjoys a challenge then this is the company for you.

Pros

Collaborative Team, Team building, Open to Studying and Career Growth

Waste of Time - Find a Different Company

Electrical Technologist (Former Employee) - Burnaby, BC - 13 December 2019

Pros 10 paid sick days. Benefits standard. Cons Poor management. (Exception of the owner) Terrible documentation processes. (Why stamp a document without a date? Do the engineers even care?) No chances for growth. Below market salary. Doing electricians work as a technologist as they are too cheap to hire a proper one. If you want to work for a place that rewards buying donuts and fixing dishwashers, this is the place for you. Want to actually grow your career? Don’t work here.

Great team, innovative projects and endless support.

Marketing Coordinator (Current Employee) - Burnaby, BC - 20 June 2019

Hedgehog has a close-knit family vibe with their team which helps create an environment that is easy to grow without feeling like an outsider. It's exciting to be involved with innovative projects around the world too. Work culture is great, they provide snacks, stocked beer & wine fridge and every month do a catered lunch that represents a team members heritage as everyone is quite diverse. You choose your own hours and you never feel like someone is breathing down your neck.

Pros

Exciting industries, friendly & diverse team, catered lunches and snacks, office visits from a real hedgehog
