AngularJS Cannot read property 'forEach' of undefined

Question

This code is causing an error in the developer console:

$scope.AddCandidatesToCompannies = function()
{
    console.table($scope.candidates);
    Object.entries($scope.candidates).forEach(candidate =>
    {
        candidate.jobs.forEach(job =>
        {
            var company_id = job['company_id'];

            Object.entries($scope.companies).forEach(company =>
            {
                if (company['company_id'] == company_id)
                {
                    console.log('match'); 
                };
            });
        });
    });
};   // AddCandidatesToCompannies()

$scope.candidates DOES contain data, and it is an object; it's quite complex, so I won't clutter the question with it, but her is an overview pic

The statement Object.entries($scope.candidates).forEach(candidate => gives

angular.min.js:83 TypeError: Cannot read property 'forEach' of undefined

at h.$apply (angular.min.js:101)
at f (angular.min.js:66)
at K (angular.min.js:70)

Can anyone see what I am doing wrongly?

Object.entries return an arrays in an array with then key, value pairs. Looks like you want to have a function like Object.values($scope.candidates)

Example:

Object.entries($scope.candidates) == [[45,{candidate_id:45}],[46,{candidate_id:46}]]
Object.values($scope.candidates) == [{candidate_id:45}, {candidate_id: 46}]
