Challenging Work and a Challenging Work Environment
Challenging Work and a Challenging Work Environment
- Work on latest technologies
- Flexible work hours
- Lots of smart people to learn from
- Opportunity to grow self and career
- Opportunity to work on a variety of exciting products by transferring teams rather than transferring companies
- The calibration system for reviews reinforces individualistic behavior over team behavior. Spend too many years in a level, and your career here is over, thanks to this system.
- Work/life balance is poor.
- Many teams still develop using the Waterfall approach.
- Moving teams is very politically charged.
- Learn how to lead. Leadership is largely authoritarian, with demands issued with the threat of 'being held accountable' or 'this will show up on your performance review if you don't do it'.
- Don't micro-manage so much.
- Listen to your employees.
