Nothing about this place is good its a small company with small mindset focused to make a group of people liked by management.

Once upon a time, in the bustling kingdom of Corporateville, there was a manager who ruled with an iron fist. Let’s call this guy Sir Micromanage or “Maestro” Sir Micromanage believed that in order to achieve success, every single task, no matter how small, needed his personal touch. He watched over his team like a hawk, swooping down at the first sign of deviation from his grand plan. In Sir Micromanage’s court, creativity and initiative were rare gems, buried deep beneath layers of rigid control and constant oversight. The knights( or employees, as they were called) quickly learned that it was safer to stick to the script than to venture into unknown territory. After all , Sir Micromanage was known to unleash his wrath upon anyone who dared to think independently. The atmosphere in the office castle was tense, with whispers of dissatisfaction echoing through the corridors. Team meetings felt more like inquisitions, where ideas were dissected and often dismissed without a second thought. Instead of collaboration, competition and fear reigned supreme. But the tale doesn’t end here. Over time, the knights grew weary.They began to question whether this was the way a kingdom should be run. Productively began to falter, creativity dried up and morale reached an all - time low . It became clear that the kingdom could not thrive under Sir Micromanage’s heavy- handed rule . The story of Micromanage serve as a cautionary tale. It teaches us that while control might bring short- term results, it’s trust, collaboration and respect that build lasting success. A kingdom where ideas are nurtured and knights are empowered will always outshine one where fear and control stifle growth. May this tale remind future leaders that true power lies not in tightening the reins, but in knowing, when to let go and trust the people who serve alongside them....Read More

I have worked with some really great people who have excellent technical expertise. There are teams where good work culture is maintained. Office is in a mall, lot of fancy shops and restaurants.

Imagine the worst parts of every manager you’ve ever had, rolled into one glorious trainwreck of a human being, who has an ego of a Death Star. This dude couldn’t debug a prod issue but struts around like he’s Silicon Valley’s gift to humanity. A cowardly backstabber who thinks he’s Steve Jobs. He gives out raises and remote work like candy to his loyal minions, expecting them to grovel at his feet. A charming mix of insecurity and favoritism. Picture a guy who’s as two-faced as a coin, but less useful. Hikes and work-from-home perks are reserved exclusively for his personal fan club—the ones who’ve mastered the art of brown-nosing and boot-kissing. It’s less about performance and more about servitude. If you’re not bending over backwards to inflate his already oversized ego, forget about any perks. He’s the micromanagement maestro, obsessing over every minor detail like a boomer on steroids. Not only is he tracking every single leave you take, but he’s also got a whole spreadsheet dedicated to it. And come month-end, he’s right there, spamming your inbox with reminders. Ignore him, and he’ll go ahead and apply the leaves himself. It’s like he’s got this pathological need to control even the smallest aspects of your work life. He’s got a calendar with everyone’s lunch and coffee breaks marked on it, too. In his mind, this is what makes him a ‘good manager.’ It’s like he’s got this desperate need to control every tiny detail, probably because it’s the only thing he can actually handle. Not content with just being an incompetent micromanaging backstabber, he’s also a master of psychological warfare. This genius has a brilliant strategy to ‘motivate’ his team: he loves to crank up the pressure to 11 and then threaten to put people on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) if they don’t dance to his tune. He never throws a party, but boy, does he show up to yours and eat all the expensive stuff. It’s like inviting a black hole to your buffet. He’s that guy who brings a salad to a potluck and leaves with a full plate of prime meat. I have not seen a sadder, frustrated, gossip-queen, mean, spineless, tech-illiterate control freak with the social skills of a wet sock, who thinks fear is a great motivator. Can’t forget the way he smiles....Read More

Organisation offers competitive salary as per market standards; there are few projects where decent standards are maintained

Dislikes

- chaotic approach to development due to short-sightedness and micromanagement of engineering manager - poor and outdated infrastructure - good appraisals are reserved for employees who are willing to work in servitude of manager - manager is running entire project as per his personal whims and wishes without any care for proper planning, execution or quality standards - HR and organisations on a whole are unable to set up any company wise policies and standards, allowing management to create a toxic, chaotic environment - manager is willing to hog all credit for good work but will distance himself from any responsibility as soon as something goes wrong - Unreasonable pressure on leads and devs as sprint scope as well as requirement changes on daily basis due to rushed task execution demands of manager...Read More

1. Salary on time (25th or before) 2. Let me think......

Dislikes

1. Sometimes you have to work after office hours 2. No increment/appraisal (even after good performance, because no one cares) 3. Focus on micromanagement! 4. Lack of professionalism 5. Old tech stacks and no growth 6. TPM's are of old mindset, they focus on blaming and under playing the team (not knowing the technical details is big challenge for them, I think) 7. One socking thing is if your laptop damaged accidentally you have to pay for it. 8. Infra related problems are the major issues and at the end you will be blamed. 9. Join when you have no better option...Read More
