Pros

Not much anymore. Ever since 2019 and the NVIDIA acquisition potential, bonuses have gone, and other benefits that used to be pros have gone too.

A lot of the software engineers in Digital IT are good people, but the morale is down.

Cons
  • Non-competitive salary
  • Lack of promotions, deny promotions "too soon" even if you do the hard work and break the grade boundaries (1 year is too soon).
  • Morale way down, no motivation even from PMs
  • No desks allocated in office all hot desks
  • No bonus benefits, flexpot (4k a year) is gone.
  • All new hires are contractors, entire teams are contractors.
  • No opportunity for growth.
Advice to Management
  • Giving a 4% raise to all workers only benefits you at the top. Realise the market has changed and fix your pay for the lower grades.
  • If people are working at a level 5 give them level 5, stop playing a time game.
  • Provide better support for new joiners, new engineers and help career growth.
  • Realise that morale is at an all time low, something needs to change, Digital IT needs help.
  • Core beliefs need to be followed.
