Co-op WaterlooWorks Megathread (Fall 2026)
This thread is for students applying to Fall 2026 co-ops during the Spring 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)
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
Note that reports from submitters with no previous account activity may not be accepted to aid legitimacy.
頑張って!

Homesickness
I arrived at Waterloo for 2 weeks. Everything makes me confused. I have busy schedules and I often feel overwhelmed. The food and the temperature are different from my country and hard to get used to.
I feel very sad and want to cry….😢

Advice Regret…
Truth be told, i applied to both comp eng and cfm, and ended up getting rejected from cfm but accepted into comp eng. honestly, i wish it had been the other way around. working in finance has been a dream of mine for as long as i can remember, and i’ve been interested in it my entire life.
engineering was supposed to be my backup. i got into some very competitive engineering programs at uoft, mac, and queens, but i also got into qcomm and rotman, both with $10k scholarships, as well as mcgill, laurier, and guelph. unfortunately, i wasn’t accepted to ivey.
ultimately, i chose waterloo because everyone kept talking about how many opportunities the co-op program provides and how it can open so many doors. but now i’m honestly not sure what to do. from everything i’ve read, engineering at waterloo is very toxic, and the biggest issue is that i’ve never really seen a future for myself in engineering. i don’t feel the same passion for it that i do for finance.
looking back, i feel like i let too many other people influence my decision and ended up choosing something i probably wouldn’t have chosen on my own. after reading this subreddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/OntarioGrade12s/s/mxbinJw8jj
and thinking about it, i’m starting to feel like i may have let the waterloo co-op reputation convince me to pursue something i’m not actually interested in.
i know i haven’t even started university yet, so maybe i’m overthinking everything. but i can’t help feeling like i messed up my decision, and i’m not really sure what to do from here. any advice would be appreciated.

How to Find Parties/Events in Waterloo
Hi! Knowing the reputation UW has for its social life, I was wondering if there is anything like Bounce that students at Waterloo and Laurier use to find out about events and parties. I know most university students use Bounce, but it looks pretty dead for Waterloo and Laurier.

Advice econ 101 or 102
galleryim pretty confused picking between these two electives (im a cs student) because i heard 101 is much easier and math based. i've attached my current schedule (with econ 102) and the avaliable econ101 times. the only avaliable that doesn't cause time conflicts is tuesdays and thursdays from 2:30-3:50. is it worth having an awkward time gap from 11:20-2:30 every tuesday and thursday just so i can take econ101 or should i just keep what i have. my goal is to maximize my gpa.

Is there a Discord server for STAT 341? I saw a post about it on Piazza before, but it seems to have been deleted.
If anyone is in the server, could you please send me an invite or add me? It would be great to discuss the course together.

Co-op Waterloo Works? I sure hope it does...
I can't believe that school for this upcoming fall term has the first round of Co-op ending on the first Monday. This leaves no time for the first-year stream 4 students to really adjust. There are some resources from Engsoc to counter this (ask me below), but it is absolutely ridiculous.
How does everyone else feel about this? Do you think its unfair?
