Kontras
> After working for 4 years, the compensation remained in the low range with only a few increases here and there. > Accurate and up-to-date training materials are still hard to come by despite their innovations in adding tools and other documentation to simplify work. Still, there is a need for more training materials on specific topics or lessons that are specific to a certain type of task. Most of the time, we just ask senior resources for help a the fastest way, but it becomes a struggle when a resource leaves the company and doesn't leave any notes or documentation. > They had this slow shift of merging roles into one (end-to-end) since 2019 to keep up with the changes and advancement in the data information scene, basically what was once 5 or more roles are now rolled into one. You're the Analyst, Developer, QA, Integrator, and Enabler in the new "Consultant" role. > Since the introduction and implementation of the end-to-end policy, many employees have struggled to keep up with the pace especially those who got hired initially to a single role. More noticeably the newly hired or less tenured resources cause them to eventually leave or worse get hit by attrition later on. > I've heard rumors that other teams or departments are not that lenient and considerate when it comes to remote work arrangements which created a rift between the team managers and upper management. > Not much of a con but if you're not into end-to-end EDI (similar to a full stack developer) with a side of administrative tasks outside of your original role, you might struggle a bit with the pacing of work and learning new skills relevant to the role you're hired.
