Lack of full time opportunities for contractors

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

well established world leader in networks and telecom Opportunities for hardware interfacing (BLM and Smart Edge) Above average pay, benefits and events Good mentors and very competent team leads

Cons

I worked as a contractor and I often found a deliberate seclusion of information from contract employees. The opportunities to convert to full time are rare as the company believes in training new grads to fit into certain roles. New features are widely spaced and the time in between can get boring... running sanity tests, solving customer issues etc. etc.

A lot of opportunities in many areas

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- a lot of training materials, very professionally made - work with people in different parts of the world - benefit package is very good. good 401k match and time off policies. - education assistance program for pursing degrees - line managers are generally very good - business trip opportunities for engineers

Cons

- lack of a clear goal for the longest time in my business unit. a lot of shuffling and churns in the upper management, a lot of re-orgs. It seems that it hard for the company to find a focus. This has been going on for a long time. My site has seen 5 heads in 3 years. - development process is very slow. sometimes I feel frustrated and demotivated in participating - I never really get much insightful information regarding the company from the meetings. Lack of transparency, or clear communication
