What are the advantages and disadvantages of outsourcing companies that programmers 'love and hate'?

For many programmers, a few who have passed the interview of an outsourcing company are happy and a few sad, so what about the outsourcing company? Let's take a look with Qianfeng Guangzhou Xiaobian below!

The disadvantages of outsourcing jobs

1. Work content

Management guru Drucker said: All non-core businesses should be outsourced. Many testers in outsourcing positions have difficulty accessing the core business of the client company, and of course it depends on personal luck.

Xiao Bian learned on the Internet dozens of job seekers from outsourcing companies, most of them have one thing in common: single content and weak technology. Among them, there are many people who have worked for six or seven years. Most of the reasons for not hiring HR are that they are not sure whether they can deal with the complex business situations in the company, or whether they can adapt to the company's situation in a short period of time.

2. A sense of belonging

After being dispatched to a client company, colleagues in a project may be employees of other companies. When it comes to understanding your needs, you are likely to encounter difficulties, and no one is willing to answer your questions or ignore you. Because everyone is unfamiliar, helping you solve problems may affect your progress.

At the same time, this kind of work mode also means that you have little chance of contact with other colleagues in the company, except for one or two dinners a year.

I heard that friends who work outsourced to Huawei have different badges from those of Huawei's regular employees. This way of being "differentiated" may be an aspect that requires you to carefully consider whether to enter an outsourcing company.

3. Difficulty raising salary

There are very few outsourcing companies that will give their employees salary increases. Some people go to outsourcing, and they have increased their wages by 200 yuan after staying for two years. It is difficult for outsourcing companies to raise wages, which is related to their profit model.

4. Relationships

Interpersonal relationships at work are an important part of our network development. Compared with ordinary companies, people who work in outsourcing companies have more difficulty in developing personal connections. Generally speaking, few big players in the industry will outsource, so friends who value interpersonal relationships also need to carefully consider this.

The advantages of outsourcing jobs

1. There are many opportunities to find a job

The threshold for applying for an outsourcing position is lower than that of an employee who directly becomes a client company. If you are a young partner who has just changed careers or just graduated, you can consider outsourcing, which can quickly solve the employment problem.

2. Can be exposed to many complex projects and standardized project management processes

The client company generally has a large number of projects and the business complexity of the project is relatively high. After the expatriate completes a project, they can quickly invest in the new project process, so that the expatriate can quickly accumulate project experience in the early stage of their career. .

Client companies usually have higher quality requirements, and they will develop relatively standardized processes to ensure quality. For the project quality management process, one of my suggestions is to understand the specific requirements of the project, and deeply understand why the client company has formulated the process and what problems are used to solve it.

3. Higher starting salary

For new testers who have just entered the workplace, entering outsourcing may get a higher starting salary. But for advanced testers this rule does not apply.

4. Opportunities to enter the client company

The recruitment requirements of the client company itself are very high. If you cannot pass the direct recruitment of the client company, you can try to save the country through a curve. During the outsourcing period, have a good relationship with the internal employees of the client company, accumulate business knowledge and focus on training your communication and coordination skills. A friend of mine was recruited as an internal employee by the bank because of his excellent communication and coordination skills.

Some things are reasonable when they exist, but whether you choose to outsource or refuse to outsource when you read this article, you should understand that the choice is based on your own technology first, so excellent technology is the foundation.
