_Project+Annexes_FCR_Surveys_Combined

Where there are responses for both -- Manager is on the left and NCG is on the right - I'm sure that some more condensing can happen and I'll look at it some more this week.... All feedback is welcome

It is usefull looking at the data together. I think it would be useful to state specific conclusion about what we can see retale to the compaprison between these two groups.

1 Advanced Technology Group ||  ||   || focuses not only on programming objectives, but also focuses on the issues of requirements, specifications, test planning and testing. || Understanding and browsing through lots of kernal code is hardest of skills because at school one is not used to browsing through and understanding thousands of lines of code. ||  || attention when things are looking difficult. ||  ||   || seeing the big picture || 5 mentions ||   ||   || responsibility/ accountability || 3 mentions ||  ||   || well defined set of short-term goals and objectives. ||  ||   || difficult for the existing team to invest time/effort on training/ramp-up of NCG's. ||   ||   || in a timely manner/ seek guidance || 3 mentions || 2 mentions ||  || ask questions of clarification.// ||  ||   || goal to gain new experiences.// ||  ||   || engineering methodologies || 8 mentions || 5 mentions ||  || another person to go to || 5 mentions || 7 mentions ||  ||

For better understanding, the hands on and theory must go hand in hand, the first session (morning) could be theory and the second session (afternoon) must be hands on of the theory.

But for the mental aspects like "things are so slow", "how come the project is going slow", " I can believe I spent few days just looking through stuff but dont feel like I have made any progress", It is a bit different set up then school. And if you do not accept it and realize it you will have lot of questions where mentor ship comes into picture. It make a big difference what part of development cycle the NVG joins. If it is crunch time (code release etc) people in the team in spite of they wanting to help you, You will be slacking and feel you do not have much to do. If you look at the macro picture it is understandable. But when you are out of school very excited about your first job and not getting much to do really hurts the spirit. Basic terms like "understanding the development process", "understanding what the team is doing is just not enough as the ramp up plan. There should be more concrete goals. The opportunity to meet executives of the company was an awesome experience for me.. I think that should continue for all NCGs// ||
