Good welfare for state-owned enterprises? A year of experience summed up 500 pages of Java growth notes, who said that treating a state-owned enterprise is a pension!

Preface

2020.11, this month is the whole year when I joined the xxx state-owned enterprise. This sharing was originally written in advance, but due to the busy period before, I have never had the opportunity to write. Today, I will briefly share with you some of my work in a state-owned enterprise, my feelings, etc. I hope to bring some real sharing and suggestions to those friends who are still confused about their own plans. I hope everyone will avoid detours.

Why do state-owned enterprises have IT departments

If you want to know what IT is doing in a state-owned enterprise, you may first need to understand why a state-owned enterprise has an IT department, that is to say, where the state-owned enterprise's demand for IT is. With the development of enterprises, various "slow, expensive and difficult" problems in enterprises have become increasingly prominent. In fields such as manpower, production, office, procurement, manufacturing, sales, etc., all aspects are facing the same problems. Paper approval forms can be seen everywhere. The dazzling sky of excel forms, the data of various customers, suppliers, and corporate employees without privacy protection, the sky-high prices of supplier project contracts, etc., without exception, cause low work efficiency, increased corporate costs, and security risks. Yes.

More and more practices and painful lessons have surfaced that in order to improve work efficiency, improve production and manufacturing capabilities, improve quality metrics, improve marketing capabilities, etc., state-owned enterprises do not need an information management department with IT support to carry out this A huge mountain, especially in the current wave of digital transformation, the IT departments of state-owned enterprises have begun to play an increasingly important role.

What do you do in IT in a state-owned enterprise

As mentioned above, state-owned enterprises have many problems in the fields of manpower, production, office, procurement, manufacturing, and sales. Improving efficiency and reducing costs are problems that corporate bosses face urgently to solve, and they are also government and national requirements. Immediately, IT played a key role in all the above aspects, and the general directions included the following:

• Responsible for the IT hardware of the company's computers, servers, computer rooms, printers, conference room projectors, etc.
• IT personnel with development capabilities, cooperate with enterprise business personnel to develop various systems to meet business needs
• IT personnel assume the role of project manager, responsible for cooperating with third-party IT vendors and supervising the successful completion of the project
• Competent IT personnel participate in the construction of the IT department of state-owned enterprises, the formulation of software development process standards, DevOps, mid-stage, and container platforms
• Develop digital transformation plan, PPT, apply own experience to actual work, and report.
• Other issues assigned by the leader...buy a pack of cigarettes, drive to help out with errands, etc. .

Why should I come to a state-owned enterprise

At the end of 2019, I quit my eight-year IT development job in a foreign company and came to a state-owned enterprise in a certain automobile manufacturing industry (actually a central enterprise, you might guess where). When I mentioned why I came to a state-owned enterprise, my main consideration at the time was to change the environment. After 8 years of development career, from a little white who doesn't understand IT at all, to the accumulation of dozens of IT project experience and the improvement of technical capabilities, I think it is time to go out and take a look and change the environment.

At that time, a few friends around me left their jobs and went to state-owned enterprises. They often advocated with me how leisurely state-owned enterprises are. In fact, I resisted at first. Because I still don't want to go with the crowd at such a young age to take care of the elderly in advance (correct, state-owned enterprises are not all pension departments~~), but the words on the recruitment requirements attracted me. Requirements "Proficient in Java development and rich project experience. Experience in microservice development, DevOps platform experience, Docker, k8s experience is preferred; experience in agile development, etc...". In fact, I do .Net, which doesn't seem to be a good match. But I heard from my friends that the technical threshold of state-owned enterprises is very low. As long as they have enough academic qualifications, they can pass one side and two sides. The most important thing is that the requirements of this position are what I have always wanted to learn and try, especially in the direction of microservices, containers, and DevOps. For those who like challenges, I hesitated for a while, and finally decided to try it. So I prepared for a week in advance, did the relevant homework, and passed the interview successfully.

Facts have proved that this decision seemed very wise at the time, because if I did not leave at that time, I would be sent to the United States on a business trip, and then I would catch up with the outbreak at the beginning of the year. . If I chose to stay at the original company at that time, I estimate that I am still surrounded by the 10 million people infected with the new crown epidemic in the US, and I have not returned to the embrace of the motherland.

What am i doing in a state-owned enterprise

I just came to a state-owned enterprise, and at first there was no actual work content. I still vaguely remember that within half a month of entering the job, I was sitting foolishly at the computer desk every day, because applying for a computer requires a process. This process probably lasted more than a week, which shows how slow the efficiency is.

After that, I started my own technology transformation learning career. Because I used to be completely .net technology stack, WinForm, ASP.NET, MVC, WCF, WF, WPF, BootStrap, etc., basically in the .net field, so I have all the technology stacks involved. I came to a state-owned enterprise and naturally became .Net Project technical consultant, some old legacy .Net projects involve some technical review changes, etc. I will help participate in the evaluation. I will take over some new .Net projects, but the current domestic .net ecosystem is still weaker than Java. The entire company's projects are still based on Java, so technology transformation is still needed.

At that time, it was also at the stage of conceptual combing and technical research of the company's DevOps tool process, and I was also learning from the third-party suppliers. In all aspects, I unknowingly participated:

• Transformation of the Java technology stack. Fortunately, Java and .net are so similar. There is no pressure in this part
• Agile development practice; since my previous work was an agile development model, I brought many new models and training work such as processes, methods, tools, etc. to the company. Such as agile development, Jira use, etc.
• DevOps process, component development learning, research work. The entire DevOps process involves many concepts and tools, such as the use of tools such as microservice design and development Jira, Confluence, Jenkins, GitLab, Sonarqube, Prometheus, SkyWalking, Docker, K8s, etc., so the year I joined was a big one. Part of the investment is in this complete technology stack. Because there are three suppliers that fully support the DevOps platform, I am also quick to get started, from learning to independent transformation and operation and maintenance, slowly <typo id="typo-2234" data-origin="的" ignoretag= The "true"></typo> is also handy. In state-owned enterprises, very few really understand technology. So in terms of technology, you have enough voice, and the leader will give a lot of time, but regular reports are necessary. Otherwise, at the weekly meeting, other colleagues all talked about their work in a mess. When you came to you, you said, "I installed a k8s environment; I configured a Jenkins pipeline" and so on. From the developer's point of view, These things are indeed a relatively big job, but in the eyes of the leaders, it doesn't feel like a big deal to hear you say it simply. . This is also an embarrassing situation that IT technicians in state-owned enterprises are currently in. We need a Bole who understands technology. In other words, our technicians are all doing heavy and complicated work. Only we know that the leaders may not pay the bill. They will pay more attention to some high-level project progress, so the improvement of themselves is Very unfavorable. Of course, if you meet a leader who understands technology, the result may be very different.

State-owned enterprises say that welfare is good, but what's so good about welfare

When it comes to benefits, they are actually similar to my salary before leaving. It is said that foreign companies can earn 12k a month, while state-owned companies can only earn 7k. This is indeed common. Fortunately, I am lucky. The state-owned enterprise I am currently in can average around 12k before tax (the monthly salary is not fixed), which is almost the same as before. Since the end of the year has not yet been reached, I still don’t know how much the year-end bonus will be, but I heard from other colleagues that the salary is usually 12 months, and the benefits will be more good. In this way, the pre-tax income for the whole year should be around 1620w. In addition to the salary, let’s talk about other benefits of state-owned enterprises:

• Five insurances and one housing fund. A state-owned enterprise must have. At present, I also include enterprise annuity of 200+ per month, and this value is also accumulated year by year as you increase the number of years in the enterprise. 20% of the provident fund company compared to individuals (12:8), compared with the previous company is 14% (7:7. After the state-owned enterprises mixed to retire, life should be quite prosperous. So, if you feel that you can’t do it anymore, is there any For other good ways, let's hurry up and come to state-owned enterprises for the elderly.
• Heating subsidy
• Shuttle bus
• Make up
• On holidays, the union provides benefits such as grain, oil, rice and noodles
• Annual physical examination
• Annual leave is 10 days+, statutory holidays are normal, other big summer holidays are generally 9 days, also called high temperature leave
• Some other details such as free brunch, ice cream, cake coupons, change of tooling once a year, free mask distribution, etc., state-owned enterprises are really very human in this respect.

Room for improvement

There is still a lot of room for improvement in IT in state-owned enterprises. I just came to the company, and the IT department has actually just been established for 2 years. The batch that came at that time are currently at the director level. If you catch up with a start-up IT department to join, you will have a good improvement if you have similar abilities in other aspects.

At present, as far as the IT department I work in, the overall IT staff is divided into two major directions from the perspective of research and development. One is to bring projects, that is, the role of traditional project manager and product manager, responsible for dealing with third-party suppliers Because this kind of direction often accompanies the company's specific large projects, it is easy to leave a deep impression on the leader if the work is done very well. The other category is my current purely technical developer, this position must be indispensable for the company. Because this ability to support IT technology is a role that other personnel cannot perform, and in the enterprise IT construction process, including the long-term self-development capacity building, it plays a main role.

The long-term vision of state-owned enterprises for IT is also to be able to realize the self-development of projects to achieve the purpose of reducing costs. This long-term plan is long-term good for technical personnel. However, at the moment, compared to other roles such as project managers, technical personnel are indeed less popular, because your work is more low-level, which is difficult to reflect or measure. Returning to the previous topic, in addition to regularly clarifying your own work and leadership, it is very important to have a leader who understands technology, but in reality, there are very few state-owned enterprises. So, what I want to say here is that there is no room for improvement in IT technology. It also depends on the surrounding environment and own capabilities. As long as your technical capabilities are not bad, you have some insights and can speak a little bit. I think it’s just a matter of time. We must have more space than the old fried dough sticks, which are delicious and lazy. Of course, the premise is that the surrounding environment is clean and fair. This is also very important. .

What do you want to say to everyone

The above is what I have done in IT in state-owned enterprises, what I have seen, what I think, come from the real environment of my work, of course, my situation is different from other people engaged in IT in state-owned enterprises, and this does not mean everything. position. In fact, most of the domestic state-owned enterprises have similar systems and systems, and the bureaucracy is relatively strong, so for people like me who have jumped from foreign enterprises to state-owned enterprises, many aspects have not changed too much.

I have been working in a state-owned enterprise for a full year. I have had a lot of insights this year. I have thought about giving up, felt helpless, have unclear difficulties, and have more recognition. Fortunately, this year has been growing. The transformation of the technology stack, the application of DevOps, cloud-native applications, PPT reporting, etc., the improvement of all aspects of ability, these are visible and valuable experience accumulation and wealth. One day, I found that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get any improvement. I was tired of doing IT in a state-owned enterprise, and I could leave without any effort. Continuous improvement is the most important thing.

At last

Because we are engaged in IT and technology, we all have a passion for the industry and the pursuit of technology. Everywhere we are shining gold, I hope to use this to say to friends who are still hesitant about their career planning: Whether in state-owned enterprises or in As long as IT companies are at that moment, don't stop their technological research and learning. Only in this way, one day, we can truly control the right of choice in our own hands!
