Sercomm Reviews

1 Old fashioned process of software development. Lack of build server, some builds in version control does not even build, lack of any auto testing. 2 Old fashioned development tools. 3 All code is stored and compiled on the remote overseas servers. Remote graphic mode is irritatingly slow and there is lack of copy-paste between workstations in graphic mode. The best way to edit code is via putty+vim. Simultaneously remote access can suddenly fall down. 4 High bureaucracy, two bag traders, 12 passwords. 5 Employees are constantly observed by web cameras. 6 They hire C developers but actually assign them JavaScript tasks in Web GUI. 7 All schematic and datasheets are under secret. For reading datasheets on USB-flash you can be suddenly fired. They can fire you in any time and it is written in contract. 8 staff turnover every week.

Challenging Work Hours: Working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week was undoubtedly demanding. This schedule taught me resilience and the ability to manage time efficiently under pressure, though it did require careful attention to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
