Expedia Group Software Development Engineer Apprentice reviews

Working hours seem skewed to the latter part of the day

Senior staff have no time to help train apprentices. It seems like the apprenticeship program only exists so that they look diverse and progressive rather than actually BE diverse and progressive. Other apprentices and I have voiced our concerns several times but it just they are neatly bushed under the carpet as they don't want to admit that their program doesn't work. My manager has told me that they do not have time for me even when they have to fill out important documents that help me achieve my qualification. Managers also get upset when you don't work to the same standard and speed as their senior staff who have been working at Expedia for 5+ years which is confusing as the whole point in this apprenticeship is that you're coming in with no experience and learning on the Job as well as studying. I don't understand who my first attempt at building my first application by myself for real world use could be done exactly the same way and speed as someone who has been there for nearly a decade.
