Pros

You can gain deep networking experience. Stocks? I can't find any other con. It was definitely a bad working experience.

Cons

Huge workload

  • Awful micromanagement from team leaders who were changing the rules depending on how they woke up in the morning.
  • Completely sick environment with managers and leaders trying to promote and relieve workload only for the persons they liked.
  • Not sufficient training for the depth of knowledge that was required.
  • Leaders were assigning tickets outside of engineers' skillsets as revenge because they didn't like them.
  • Management was offending employees with racist jokes and ironic comments.
  • Management was acting like a closed organization by promoting or giving salary increases, or even forcing engineers to quit.
Advice to Management

What advice can you give to management when, in every meeting where you complained about the above, the reply was, "This is the job, take it or leave it."

It seems that no one cares about the satisfaction of employees.
