The salary part and benefits are good. They will try to attract you with the salary but after that everything is down hill.

Salary - Good

Dislikes

First, the amount of politics is huge. You will have a local compa y manager in india and/or a functional manager in Europe. That is the first level of conflicts. Then within the teams the level of frustration and the foolish ways I which the teams are structured is just out of the world. Lastly the organization has a habit of usi g pro action periods and their extensions as a method of intimidation . Overall not a health work culture.

a lead engineer

After Switch, Feeling lost in a career. Specially after working in good companies, MNCs, Captives etc.

I have 10 YOE I joined a fintech company as a senior lead developer (java, cloud) in October 24 CTC 37. Everything is good here. Eg . Worklife balance, work from office/home , stability, project manager. only issue is java work is less and stuck in Financial product where we need to deploy test and mostly do configuration changes. This is my 5th company. What would be the advice? is that okay to change comapny in 5-6 months? how to proceed ahead with the career ?
