Dislikes

1. Work might get monotonous after few years, since it involves dealing with customers on regular basis. 2. Onboarding process is time consuming and involves lot of paperwork. You may find some HR employees not cooperating. 3. Company has only 2 offices in entire India (Noida and Bengaluru) for design related work, making it difficult for candidates in other states to relocate permanently. 4. Remote work provision won't be there any longer. 5. Freshers shall find it difficult to cope up with the HUGE amount of learning in the first 6 months or so.

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Mumbai

ISRO vs Analog Design Engineer

Hello All. I am asking this question. I am a final year M.Tech student at IIT-B specializing in Integrated Circuits and Systems. I have two offers as mentioned below - 1) ISRO Scientist/ Engineer 'SC' (Location - Ahmedabad) 2) Offer from Cadence as Analog Design Engineer (Location - Pune) I am unable to make a decision. While the central government scientist post does seem lucrative I am also attracted to the fact that I am a Mumbaikar and would actually love to stay in Mumbai whilst still getting a better pay sitting very close to Mumbai. Can anyone from ISRO/SAC - Ahmedabad shed some light as to what kind of work is done in Electronics ? How is the Work Life Balance in ISRO/SAC - Ahmedabad ? Is it true that we need to work overtime and also work on weekends ? Because if that is the case I would very well do it in a private organization thereby earning more money. I however would like to spend quality time with family and avoid WFH kind of arrangements. Not very sure.
