Vantaggi
Initially the role was my stint into tech, and I thought it was a good opportunity to keep learning as they prioritize upskilling with their internal courses. Also, at the time we could still work from home.
Svantaggi
Since it’s such a huge company that is mainly managed by home based staff in India who transfer to the US to train US based employees there’s not only a cultural shift that needs to be assimilated to, but also a communication shift that was very difficult for most of us to adjust to. Communication in general was lacking and delayed across the board from HR department to management. Whenever we had to complete an assessment, there would be issues with the internal portal, and we would need to contact IT support constantly. The worse thing about working here is that we found out that we were responsible for getting on projects instead of being put on a project. Essentially, you signed on only to be “job hunting” again. Please negotiate your salary accordingly before signing because they will low ball as much as they can. I ended up having to pay taxes for another state unnecessarily on top of being paid way under market rate.
