Svantaggi
I can only speak for NOC as that's where I worked. -They lowball your salary and assign you endless tasks. -There's no training for NOC members. You are not going to learn much as a NOC engineer, you are merely human being doing jobs that is supposed to be done by machines. ( acknowledge alerts, create tickets then follow up ) -Bonus is given out 50% in March and the other 50% in June, that is to say at any point you leave the company you lose 50% of your bonus. The amount is also miserable compare to the workload you are assigned. -People come and go ( saw a guy gave up in 3 days ) every month and there is a reason why. Advice : unless you are extremely novice and need an exposure to various technology so you can TALK about it ( but not master it ) maybe it can help you land on the next job, DONT EVEN TRY !
