Today I continued work on my project and observed some of the company’s operations. I started the day off with some work on my side project. I modified my code so it would display its data in an easier to read table format. At the company’s “Stand-Up”, I reported on my progress on the project. This standup was slightly different than usual because Bill Edwards, a technical account manager, from Sift’s branch in Shanghai, China reported on how that branch of the company was doing via audio. After stand-up, a few of Sift’s employees interviewed a candidate that Sift was considering hiring for one of their open positions in Durham. While I was busy working on my project and did not get to witness the interview process, I did get to meet the applicant when I went to lunch with the company to Copa, a local Cuban restaurant. After lunch, I went back to Sift’s headquarters to work adding a dropdown box to accept user input for my project.
