GoJek is my first & the only company I've worked in. I interned here in 2 summer months in 2017 & got a PPO.

This was the place where I learnt how to write code, the etiquettes of writing code (3 month bootcamp 🙌🏻), how to build products quickly that scale, when to refactor, wrote more than 80+ blogs, played football on weekends, participated in hackathons, organised & anchored in conferences (DevOps days, Gopher Conf, RubyConf, etc), traveled to 3+ countries to launch our products & worked with some of the most amazing colleagues. Sucks a little that I couldn't make much money in its IPO but it's been a great ride!
