Pros
I started my career as an Associate Engineer at Valve division (then FCEC). When it was valve division, things were good. Though site leadership was a burning issue, it never had impact on bottom level engineers. 1. Good place to accumulate product knowledge. 2. Wide variety of job portfolios
Kontras
1. Lack of vision towards R&D path. 2. No career path for R&D engineers! Trust me, hardly 15-20 engineers out of 300 work on R&D. One has to wait for long ( and sometimes you have to please your manager) to get some projects! 3. HR wing is useless. HR is a secret agent for site leadership. HR carries all information from employees to site leadership to turn against employees. 4. Apathy towards employees. No single demand of employee has been fulfilled after formation of GTEC . 5. Linguistic and regional bias-ism is prominent
