Vantaggi
- Benefits, which you may not be fully able to use if working 14+ hours a day - Great health plan. - QCT is totally manager/lead dependent. If manager/lead is reasonable, strong and powerful, you can go places. If not, you will go nowhere, even if you work hard. - Exciting work.
Svantaggi
- Some QCT teams have reversed pyramid structure. Number of Senior Staff Managers > Number of Staff Managers > Number of Senior Engineers > Number of Engineers. Hence lower levels in QCT, bear the brunt of work, because except for a few technically good mid level managers, most sit in meetings all day to increase their sphere of influence. - People can steal work and claim it their own. Advertise your work to more folks than your lead. - Some QCT managers, have no management skill. They have the title to just increase their influence. - Matrix structure for reviews. Find the most important senior player (manager, director etc) in the team and make him/her happy. Very political place. - Do not waste any time contacting HR, they do not care. They are there to make sure that no lawsuit or issues for the company.
