Different Teams, Vastly Different Experiences
Worked there for 5 years as a full-time staff engineer.
- Interesting technical projects.
- Some very experienced technical people.
- You will meet good people and friends here.
- You can learn a lot working there.
- Opportunity to work directly with clients in a technical capacity.
- Travel, even international, might be an option depending on your job role.
- Pay is OK, but there are other more competitive companies out there.
- Very political, as other big corporate firms are.
- Have to pull lots of strings to get any sort of upward mobility.
- Management can throw you under the bus in an instant and not think twice.
If you want to keep technical talent around, don't wait ages to promote them, or someone else will.
