- Depending on what team you apply for and who your reporting supervisor is in this company, it can either work with you or against you, much like a double edge sword.
- Low salary, not super low, but low enough to be below average salary. This is good if you're living by yourself or if you're dependent on someone else for paying the bills. Not if you're solely supporting a household of 4-5 people.
- Gossip, but that's most workplaces.
- Female engineers beware: if you are young, well-accomplished, and is fresh out of college from a B.S. or a M.S. in a computer related or technical field, be prepared for a lot of misogyny, vindication and exclusion from the group. Especially from higher ups in a male dominated field and/or cliques in the workplace departments pertaining to those fields (male or female).
- If you recommend a position to someone, despite friendship/relationship with the person because you know their work ethic and are a good fit for the job and not because of relations to said person, do not be surprised if that person gets a position that they never applied for because of politics.
- If things go south between the person that you recommended and their supervisor, be prepared for the negative repercussions on the person as well as yourself.
