My Background

• I got the job by leveraging a tool called OnCampus Placements.
• This is what I learnt after working with Oneplus for the last 6 months.

Things to care about

First : [People]

1. A lot of your time is going to be spent with people on your team. So they are the most important criterion to judge on.
   

I look for these quality traits.

• Kindness
• Technical Capabilities
• Ability to think about a problem deeply
• Does their career goals align with mine ?
• Ability to Google Stuff.

Second : [Team and Company Culture]

1. For every team, their is a set of fundamental traits and pipelines to their working.

I look for these quality traits.

• Ability to onboard a new candidate quickly.
• Efficiency(Ability or desire to automate daily redundant tasks).
• Ongoing Projects and KPIs on which they evaluate themselves.
• Leaders (How good they know the motivation behind solving a particular problem)

Third : [Compensation and City]

1. Believe it or not, the compensation that you will be getting from a particular position is kind of proportional to the impact that the company thinks you will have.
2. This also ties well with Big-Tech companies paying well because the scale that your features will impact their users is massive.

I look for these quality traits.

• Compensation Package.
• Does the city you will be working in provide other opportunities to grow ?
• Cost of living.
• Finding roomates that want to share memes and watch Tanmay Bhatt Together.
