If you are an employee, then you're treated fairly well.
The business does not listen to technology people. My team became more productive during the 2020 work from home. The 2021 kerfuffle and lack of planning only caused stress among the tech staff, as dates and times for return to office changed on a whim.
What really gets me is how management DOES NOT CARE about you. Many people rightfully complained that it is difficult to schedule their lives around a constantly changing return to office schedule. Instead of doing anything, there was a mass email basically saying 'thanks for complaining, deal with the stress and stop bothering us'.
Cultural stuff - I was on a line of business call with our leaders and found out the hard way that they really do not care about mental health or the LGBTQ+ community. I brought up the fact that several mental health conditions would cause people to struggle with a rotating office schedule, and a fixed one would be better. I was hoping for either the fixed schedule or a recommendation to use an internal mental health resource, at least lip service. Instead, I was told that everyone has to deal with their own problems and find your own help. It took until after I put in my 2-week notice and they were hemorrhaging tech talent before they actually gave people mental health resources to help transition out of the pandemic.
Also, if you are a contractor, you are at best a second-class citizen.
Stop the lip service. If you don't want employee feedback, then don't ask for it, don't demean it, and do not complain when you get actual feedback.
I attempted the online assessment for JPMorgan Chase but did not progress to the next round. It was a valuable learning experience that helped me identify areas for improvement and better prepare for future opportunities.
First was a telephonic round for resume screening with the recruiter. Then came the technical screening round where basics and previous experience were evaluated. Finally, the technical live coding round.
It was a very long but high-standard interview. I felt good about it and am looking forward to the response, hoping I will get a call for the next round.
