      The Gift & The Curse of Large Corporation Employment

      Supplier quality engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      **Great work-life balance (9/80 Schedule - every other Friday off) **Large Corporation - plenty of employee discounts (movie tickets), perks & an on-site cafeteria (some what expensive, but convenient) **Opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology (radar, space, etc.), with some very talented people across functions

      Cons

      **Nepotism - you have to be very careful with whom you rub the wrong way (could be the spouse, uncle, or cousin of someone in your organizational hierarchy) **Career Advancement - the progression of your career can be an uphill battle unless you have an individual of influence backing you **Competitive Pay - pay is not always up to par compared to what other companies pay for a similar position, it seems that they may hide behind the glamour and glitz of being such a large, well-known corporation

      View as a temporary rung on your career ladder while adding skills to your CV

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are several interesting projects to work on, and you get the chance to have a say in which area you work in There's chance to increase your skills in a variety of areas There's good people there who you can learn a lot from

      Cons

      No loyalty - if you don't get through the filter process, a clause in your contract allows them to let you go - several people suddenly disappeared while I was there No business creativity/diversification from the top - solely focused on a "More bodies sent to their sole customer equals more money" formula Laughable 1% annual pay rises - a very few get one or two more percentage points - you need to be a *very* squeaky wheel (ie. threaten to leave) to get anything decent
