  • Can you share how the feedback looks in general? What is the summary? A lot depends on the feedback. Also what is your designation?

    • I see. That's not negative much. No need to worry. Just be vocal and try to be active in discussions, meetings or proactively working on a bug etc. Just create a perception that you are super interested in the job and the team. I know you may not like it, but this is how corporate is. It's mostly all perception.

      Ya, you are right. Before joining i had thought that these things won't be present in big companies. But doesn't seem so now

  • OP, did your onboarding go smoothly and are you comfortable with the codebase, tooling, process of the team ? I joined 1 month back and remote onboarding not going so well. Shit scared I might be fired soon if I dont make progress ..

    • Yeah. Remote onboarding is difficult. I also faced a lot of issues. Also managers always want the best from reportees even if they know there are issues in the existing system. It sucks. But same story everywhere. Kaha bhagoge? Sab same hain.

      If you are not getting help/replies, try to schedule calls with keeping your manager as optional. Try to ping other people on the team to see if they can help. See if you can find relevant documentation, training videos etc which might help. Remote onboarding can be difficult, stay at course, you might surprise yourself with progress you make.

  • Seen many seniors at Microsoft IDC leaving the company these days. Could be some changes in HR policy or so which made them feel insecure. Try the likes of PayPal, Intuit etc. I think I saw people here offering referrals for PayPal, Atlassian and sorts. The good thing is that market is robust so you may get another opportunity soon if you try now
