Vantaggi

Svantaggi
Hired for full time role but was retrenched within a month - Was hired in October to learn and take over an existing role in a team, so the SRE can move on to another team - Not long after I joined, there was also another new SRE joining - Was affected by huge restructuring exercise in early November, double-digit number of staff retrenched - Apparently not the first restructuring exercise, they had one in September and yet I was hired in October, then subsequently retrenched in November - There's more but I won't delve into it - it just seems like management has bad hiring practices - Seemed like the team genuinely had no idea this would happen (or they wouldn't have spent that much effort to train newcomers), higher ups most likely at fault for bad management Other cons: - Hotdesking but WFH not encouraged - sometimes not enough seats if you arrive later - No work life balance (for SRE) - expected to be on call 24/7 to respond to any issues in production
