Senior Software Development Engineer Salary in Ernakulam

Likes

Hybrid and flexible working hours. Work-life balance. Weekly snacks and events. Good culture - addressing everyone by their first name (flat culture), business casual dress code allowed, good for experienced individuals, bad for inexperienced freshers. Monthly 8 days work from office (not mandatory to complete 2 days per week, could be completed consecutively in a row). Excellent admin team to resolve technical issues.

Dislikes

...ood. Many and frequent layoffs happen every now and then. Hire and fire culture. Poor promotions and salary hike (0-3% of base saalry). For me, no hike happened for one entire year even after giving my 100%. 😭 No formal recognition or certificate of appreciation even after working on a project for 2 years. Toxic manager with zero skills and understanding of the project. Hiring, appraising, conferring certificates, providing formal recognition, providing hikes to undeserving managers/team leads/employees. Management is THE WORST and is almost completely responsible for all these negative feedback. Skills development is limited. Only a few projects and worth working on. (Craneware, DaVita, etc). Monthly calendar enrollment for upskilling and training requires manager's approval and most managers don't approve, not because they don't want to but because of the limited time period before the deadline to approve it. Also, some managers don't approve it because they either don't receive the email to approve or they get hundreds of emails per day so they miss those approval emails. This hinders upskilling of the employee working under that lazy manager. 😢 Immediate actions to be taken by the management: 1. Reject hire and fire policy. 2. Reject false promises. 3. Keep managers and team leads in check as they exercise their authority over their juniors. Rather than doing their own work, they ask juniors to complete their part of work on their behalf. 4. Improve salary hike or else expect voluntary resignations just how it is happening right now. 5. Forget about undeserving employees who just waste company resources; but those who really merit hikes/appraisals should receive decent salary hikes. (Not peanuts such as 1-3% hike, come on! It's a billion dollar company - unicorn. Please have some self-respect.) 6. Some managers misuse 1-on-1 to include TLs in the same appraisal meeting, thereby making it a non-transparent (2-on-1) and biased process. Such managers must be fired instead of deserving employees.

If you get a good project with good people you are sorted and so is your compensation and promotion. The policies, Tech and everything else is top notch.

Dislikes

Managers control you promotion and compensation and so you have to be a licker to be in their good books.
