NielsenIQ Engineer salaries in Pulwama

Likes

They hired me with a good salary, great hike from my previous salary. Interview process was challenging, multiple rounds, but I was given proper clarity and feedback each time - One of the main reasons I chose to join here despite holding multiple competing offers. Business & Financials wise company looks so stable and always growing.

Dislikes

I was hired for a particular 'Vertical' - which was clumsy as hell, no proper process for anything - CI/CD, Security vulnerability scanning, Deployment process, Quality gates, Testers, Performance testing, etc., - Everything is available for namesake, but nothing implemented properly. Leadership wants to drive success by setting target numbers, Senior Managers plan for unrealistic goals, finally putting pressure on Senior & Junior Engineers. They expect a Senior Engineer to lead a project / module - thus managing a few people (3-6), attend a hell lot of meetings, work with incompetent Release Management team, Respond to production issues or incidents ASAP round the clock, and work for 10 points in a Sprint as per Agile. Agile is huge laugh - since priorities change left & right, Ad-Hoc changes are pulled right in the middle of sprints, and end of PI - you will be bashed in reviews if you do not complete the planned items for the PI. So obviously, Work life balance goes for a toss.

...ning might be a better option because the toxic management can ruin your career. In particular, the OPS Manager (Michael Rodney Fernando) does not give promotions or salary hikes to the right people. Instead, he surrounds himself with a group of yes-man, who is worst creature ever such worst fellow. Additionally, the EU-RD managers lack knowledge of processes but still demand KPI maintenance. One good thing is EU - RD especially this guy Michael fernando Rodney team has been continuously dropping paper and because of this guy the company attrition rate is increasing. Feeling only to remaing people in his team only God can save them don't know the process and simply shouting the team to achieve KPIs

The culture is absolutely amazing and the projects are absolutely top. Real meaningful work...

Dislikes

The compensation is well below the market average. It's like you compromise on the salary to learn and develop skills, work in amazing projects, job satisfaction and mental health. But this can only be accepted till a certain point.
