- Fast pacing environment (sometimes too fast to catch up).
- Rules and process constantly changing, sometimes with little or no sense.
- Every company unit seems to be at war at each other: cooperation is hard to achieve.
- Upper Management is mostly not accountable for their mistakes: they can disband an entire department because of a manager's mistake.
- Ownership of mistakes is hardly seen because of the above: nobody wants to be accountable.
- I've seen co-workers getting fired without possibility to dispute.
- While a remote work, you need to setup a homeoffice with certain criteria.
- If you live in a noisy area, you would not be able to work as an L1 or L2 as they will fail you for the background noise.
- You need to have a solid hardware to be able to work with the company. If you have an old cpu, slow and with little memory, you won't be hired.
- Timecontrol has been hardening up because of the abuse of some lousy employees, affecting us all. From 1 or 2 screenshots every 10 mins, now we use a full monitoring tool that measures everything we do (Fin). This tool causes additional overhead to the CPU load.
- Company avoid paying for tools: you are mostly using free stuff. If you are using a private tool to perform a task, even when it facilitates your life and increase productivity, it's all on you.
- During shift hours you PC belongs to the company. You cannot check personal stuff while on shift / running the time control software.
- They run CCAT tests every 6 months: they want people to be at their best. If you have lost the edge and you fail one CCAT, you are out.
- Fast profit seems to prevail over long-term profit. So, they run on minimum personel for running critical tasks and often issue are attented only if showstoppers because there is no one else available.
- This should be a remote work, but in practice, this is far from it: this is a traditional "contract" job done remotely.
