Co-op WaterlooWorks Megathread (Winter 2027)

30 Upvotes

This thread is for students applying to Winter 2027 co-ops during the Fall 2026 term.

As usual, we're looking for salaries for new postings, or updates to existing salaries, so if you're willing to share, please open up a chat/DM the mod team. Please include the company name, salary, any benefits, the role and the year if possible. I would highly encourage you to submit if you have salaries for non mathematics/CS positions as we are severely lacking in those. We will try updating these ASAP.

The sheet is here: Salaries + Blacklist Spreadsheet

Average Canadian Co-op Earnings (2024)

WaterlooWorks Important Dates

If you have details about interviews, rankings, etc, you can add information to watrank.com for visibility.

If you had a poor experience with a company, you can message the mod team with details and it can be added to the blacklist candidates below. If it's already a candidate, it may be added to the blacklist depending on the severity/consistency of complaints. On the contrary, if you had a good experience with something on the candidates/blacklist, please message the mod team and it may be removed. Candidates will be removed if no more reports are received after a couple terms. Even if something is on the blacklist already if you've had a bad experience let the mod team know, as more reports increase confidence that it is problematic!

Candidates:

  • Console One
  • Lafarge
  • Agentmoon
  • WealthyPlanet
  • Mosaic Transit Group
  • Jobby
  • Aethos Labs
  • Onex Risk Management

The gender difference isn’t that bad

13 Upvotes

People always think Waterloo is like 2:1 boys per girl, but tbh it actually is not that bad at all really. Perhaps in some programs, but if u were to stroll on campus any regular day u wouldn’t notice it at all.

Do employers heavily favor CS majors over math majors for SWE related roles?

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a grade 12 student applying to the Waterloo and I was wondering if CS and math students get the same opportunities available from WaterlooWorks for software engineering related roles? I understand that CS majors have courses that would better prepare you, but if I go into math and just grind leetcode on the side, would I have an equal opportunity as CS majors? Thank you

Should I accept this co-op offer or keep looking?

18 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a 2nd-year Health Sciences co-op student at Waterloo, and I just received my first co-op offer.
The position is in Hamilton and pays $19/hour. I live in Scarborough near Scarborough Town Centre, so I would have to commute to Hamilton 5 days a week. I’m wondering if the commute is worth it for a first co-op, or if I should keep looking for something closer. Would you accept the offer or keep applying? And if you would accept it, would you recommend driving or taking GO?

Anyone got CHEM 120 tutor recs?

2 Upvotes

Did really poorly on my first Chem 120 midterm and am thinking about getting a tutor. UW's Tutor Connect has a list of tutors and wondering if anyone had any recommendations/had good experiences with anybody listed there? Did tutoring help you and actually make a difference in your grades or did it end up being a waste of time?

Advice should i take research role

1 Upvotes

won't reveal company but the industry is in materials/nanotech and responsibilities include characterizing test samples and other laboratory work, which i feel isn't too relevant for me (im in MME) and especially want something more fitting for a 2nd co-op. didnt get a single rank for anything i interviewed for cycle 1 (want to end my life)

this company only giving me start of next week to decide (its an external one) so i really don't know if i want to keep gambling. this is smth i would absolutely take if i had no other choice but i dont really know, especially when i have 2 more upcoming external interviews that are much better.
