The onboarding experience at Counterpoint is a thorough one, lasting between 6-8 weeks. You will be grouped with other new hires who have similar skill sets and start dates to help you bond and grow as a group. We've seen this structure lead to better collaboration and enthusiasm.
From day one, Counterpoint Academy gives you the tools, resources, and guidance you need to succeed and thrive. We understand that new hires have a wide range of skill-sets and experiences. That is why we created Counterpoint Academy.
When you first join the team, you'll spend 6-8 weeks learning from Counterpoint's best and brightest. We've created classes, assignments, and videos to help hone your technical skills, problem-solving and more.
Dynamic tutorials, passionate instructors and a variety of topics make for easy, engaging learning and lots of new skills for you.
I'm constantly learning new things and gaining new experience. I know that if I have a question I can always reach out to a coworker for help and learn from them. Everyone seems to genuinely enjoy sharing knowledge and teaching each other, which makes learning new things really enjoyable. When I look back on where I started, I can really see that I have grown a lot as a developer and as a consultant, and it's all because of Counterpoint's collaborative culture.

What do you think are the strengths of the Training Program?
Coming from a non computer science background, I was a little nervous at first that I would struggle to keep up with some of the other trainees; however, the program broke things down for me in a way that was easy to understand and learn. One of the best strengths of the program is the collaborative learning environment fostered in each training class which really allows you to dig deeper and broaden your understanding of the lesson.
Who is your mentor? What are some of the benefits of the mentor program?
Thanh is my mentor. The best benefit of the mentor program is having a resource within Counterpoint who you can reach out to with any questions you might have about anything Counterpoint related.

What do you think are the strengths of the Training Program?
I was a computer science major in college and the information I learned about software development was pretty theoretical and compartmentalized. Counterpoint's training program is great because it focuses on building a really strong foundation of working knowledge across the stack. For me, this helped fill in the gaps in my understanding of web development that I didn't realize existed until I was trained from a holistic perspective. Counterpoint trains you to be a full-stack developer.
Who is your mentor? What are some of the benefits of the mentor program?
Alex is my mentor. So far, the mentor program has been helpful for me in that it prescribes designated times for me to chat with a much more knowledgeable, senior employee about my career goals and any concerns I have had while transitioning from training to client project work.
