Pros
My first surprise was the sensitivity shown towards me being a working mom and the company's views about ensuring the right environment for working mothers. While I went through several interviews in the same period and had almost decided to join another MNC, the transparency in the interviews and the overall employee centric approach of this organization changed my decision in favour of MediaOcean. Between a conducive onboarding process and ensuring clear work objectives to providing the right environment(tools, treatment towards each other, respect for individual's views and a constant push to increase one's potential) , MediaOcean as an organization did stand out from all my previous/ex employers. Inspite of being a relatively smaller organization (employee strength), there is a constant focus on improving employee engagement to mutually benefit the organization's growth and the employee's development. As against other MNC's and Indian MNC's, various functions like HR, finance, admin, managers constantly reach out to employees to collect regular feedback on concerns and work on improvements. For working women (especially working mothers), there is a constant encouragement to ask for support on improving delivery while ensuring a good Work life balance. Based on all of the above, my earlier views on the need to work for large organizations as a means of work security has been squashed. While all of the above points encourage employees to be motivated, in my view, the organization is focused to encourage high performing employees and take appropriate actions (rewards and recognitions) for such employees.
As against one of my previous employers where i was one in thousands, my individual contribution used to hardly get any visibility - This was a constant demotivation to me.Based on all of the above, I would recommend MediaOcean to all Software engineers who are passionate about their career and want to work in a conducive environment
Cons
Need more parking slots as sometimes it becomes difficult when we come in late.
