Avoid CIC unless you have no experience
Avoid CIC unless you have no experience
- Great on your resume (this doesn't apply that much to FAANG)
- Learn a lot if you get on a good project
- Interview process is not too bad
- Ability to transfer (if management allows it)
- Work-life balance can be great depending on where you work
The salary is terrible. You might not get on a good project or any projects. Management really doesn't care about your career path. I spent a couple months doing customer support and manual entry, not one line of code. Might have to use IBM proprietary software.
