Pluspunten

I have worked here 3 years, and most software engineers I've seen are hard working, smart and friendly. I've seen only a few, less than 3, who are not able to do their work properly. However in broadcom, they have a ranking system, which affects your yearly bonus. In my team, I am confident to say software engineer is working hard and learning, but someone will have to be ranked lowest because of the system. Then that person will go away. This is mainframe industry, where it takes years to develop a great software engineer. And you are forcing them to go away because of the ranking.

Minpunten

During the covid pandemic, most international software companies let their software engineers WFH. BUT NOT THIS ONE!! - Employees are forced to come to the office by a rotation program. Software engineers are divided into several groups, and when it's your group's turn to show up in the office, you gotta go to the office. They don't care if you need to take public transport to work. They don't care if you have children that you need to take care of when the school is not open. They even check the badge to make sure you actually showed up. If you don't want to come, fine, your only choice is a 3-month no paid leave. - They canceled the yearly salary review/increase this year, during the pandemic, and their explanation is that they want to keep more cash during this special time. However, the management said that productivity actually increased during the pandemic. Is this how you reward your employees?
