Systems Engineer - Systems Engineer Spectrum Employee Review

WORK EXPLOITATION - Work like a "Pumpkin" and get paid in "Peanuts." - To get hike, you need to have experience on paper than possess technical skills. I got an annual hike of $46 per paycheck (Bi-weekly) and $1156 annually. And my manager tries to convince me that it is the best hike he had ever given. To add happiness to that SE1 are not qualified to get any annual bonuses. LONG HOURS - As you were a full-time employee you need to be in office for 9 hours every day. If Oncall, thats an additional work. It is a sin to expect an additional pay for additional work. Shut your mouth and work at midnights or rotated shifts without complaining and without expecting any benefits. 401K and Retirement Plan - They expect you to invest in their shares from the "peanuts" they pay for you. Retirement Plan, you end up paying up to Fidelity if you try to use those funds and are not 60+ years. * Don't ever inquire about the current market pay trends and pay range of your co-workers. It is an err to know about co-workers pay range. Your salary is only based on what you are paid during the time you are hired. You will be paid far less than market wage. And always prefer to be in good looks with your leadership than to work.
