Cons
There isn't enough technical engineering work. Majority of the work is admin, configuration management work and integration work.
The large variations in my workload... Sometimes I am very quiet, and other times I have heaps to do.
Salary is not competitive, and salary negotiations are fairly difficult to succeed with.
The large variations in my workload. Sometimes I am very quiet, with not much work to do, and other times I have heaps to do. I'd prefer if it was more consistent, but I understand it's the nature of the industry.
Promotion opportunities are quite rigid... you must meet certain requirements to move up, and it can be difficult to obtain the necessary experience.
