What is it like working as a Software Engineer?
November 2015
Current Appraisal review.

November 2015
Unstable and unappreciated.
Software Engineer:
Pros: I like working with my peers. They are good hardworking professionals.
Cons: The company is poorly managed and it does not appreciate it's people. Employees are considered a disposible commodity, purchased and discarded based on the needs of the moment.
November 2015
Work.
Software Engineer:

Cons: I still don't know my place in the job.
November 2015
Very rewarding, engrossing work.
Software Engineer:
Pros: Software engineers get the frequent satisfaction of fixing something and getting to see the effect of that fix. It's nearly instant gratification sometimes, which can be very satisfying. Also you learn a lot of skills you can use in your everyday life to make things work better.
Cons: A lot of sitting at a computer, so you might feel very drained and foggy at the end of the day. You also need to deal with very large, complex systems, where sometimes the difficulty isn't as much conceptual, as simply understanding what other people were trying to convey with their code.
October 2015
Software Engineer:
Pros: I really enjoy learning and meeting new people.
Cons: I don't like that it is so far away and had a small pay.
October 2015
Corporate Culture, Training, Office Culture,
Software Engineer:
Pros: Learning every single day. Periodic Training and Workshop. The diverse culture being practiced here.
Cons: The regionalism. Being a minority belonging to a community outside 90% of the people working here. It becomes very much difficult to adjust. The food, atmosphere, language makes it difficult.
October 2015
Make the change.
Software Engineer:
If there is a functional issue with the code don't wait until tomorrow to fix the issue. Tomorrow never comes and the system, while still functional, will always have a problem with it.
