December 2014
Interesting work.
Software Engineer:
Pros: I work on robotics, which doesn't apply to every software engineering position. It is very interesting and you get to work on unsolved problems rather than just producing more of the same for a different customer.
Cons: It can be hard to get everyone headed in the same direction on a project.
December 2014
Software engineer, 2plus experience.
Software Engineer:
Pros: Get to learn new things.
Casual environment.
Cons: People have to be of the 'yes-sir' type to go ahead.
Very few people are recognized for their talent.
Its suposed to be a casual environment but some take it too casually and almost never say a word in english and get by fine.
December 2014
Software Engineer.
Software Engineer:
Pros: I get payed on time :)
Cons: While I was student this work and study use to inspire me to more.But after 1 year work experience I lost that love due to some discrepancies (specially salary) now I think more about what I get or they treated in first two year .
December 2014
Start at a large software company.
Software Engineer:
The breadth of skills acquired at a large software shop, the people you are exposed to, the compensation/benefits/stability, and the diversity of projects to work on make it an ideal option for a CS major right out of college who is looking to launch a career as a software developer. Once you have a few years at a company like Google or Microsoft, everyone will want to hire you.
