Go work here if you want to be Consultant - Principal Software Engineer Object Computing Employee Review

Being a consultant is very different than working at a large or medium sized corporation: It isn't for everyone. You have to be ok with working on different projects (sometimes at the same time). You have to be ok with a certain level of uncertainty. You have to be ok with not waiting for someone to give you micro-level directions. You need a lot of self-motivation. For the right engineer, it is liberating and empowering. For the wrong type, it can feel chaotic and disorganized. There's always new things to work on at OCI. If you want to try something new or transition into a different part of technology, they will help find a way for you to do it. But you have to follow through on your end. It isn't magic, you have to put in the work and invest in yourself as well. If you want to double-down and go deep into one technical area, they'll help you do that as well. There's so many extremely talented people here, it is pretty remarkable given the size of the organization. There seem seems to be a SME level expert in just about everything that you can go ask for help or advice. The people really do care and try their best. This goes for the engineers and all the non-technical people like PMs, BAs and administrative staff. The leadership team has made a commitment to making a place to work that is open to all. The result is a culture that doesn't tolerate toxic people. You can have healthy disagreements without toxicity. The PTO policy takes some time to get used to but is pretty good once you understand how it works.
