You would see many engineers and at times people at leader level playing table tennis or have closed chat groups or closed group smoke outings even throughout the day. So one can say may be laid back to an extent than say better work-life balance. Sometimes its less work for many groups that are close to the management / leadership

Dislikes

Merit does not mean you grow or get promoted. One can not look for recognition at leadership level, if you are not your manager's jalra. Visibly significant promotions or leadership level growth beyond the initial seed team are all from 'white belt' group - you know which caste group I refer here. You may see few other groups but they are really blind jalras for leadership. You are a fool if you expect a feedback for your growth during reviews, the best you get could be strategic silence or blabbering or cajoling. Leaders at VP level even are at their best administrative czars unable to provide a proper performance feedback - so you are kept confused. Either low comm & people skills or look dumb to avoid being confronted<mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;">. HR is spineless just seeing to that they are taken care of well but do nothing for employee professional growth esp leadership growth</mark>. Archaic policies are bandaged if they are cornered....Read More

Good Organization to work for at a short term period of time. Management level is good at connecting with the employees across the teams and locations, They really like to hear about your feedback on the work culture and organizational improvements. Fast Paced Work Culture - really had to work hard and extend hours of time to meet deadlines. Company policies are limited unlike other service based companies. You will get a permanent job assurance if you can endure the pressure and wish to continue at long term, very rare or no firing scenarios. You will have to Keep learning & get trained all over the year as the organization needs product features to grow the customer base - it is a never ending regimen...Read More

Dislikes

Too many training sessions and meetings in addition to the daily work assignments - you had to extend really hard to meet the deadlines. 80% of the work is handled at offshore, it could be better if it was brought to 50-50% / 60-40% offshore and onsite ratio to maintain work-life balance. Most of the managers migrated from Service based companies hardly understand the issues - as, it is a product based company there will be lot of challenges with the hardware/network/connectivity, test setup etc., Had to visit office frequently to carry out daily activities during covid-19, as we can't take devices home. No option / very rarely get devices home. Aggressive releases with new features and patches ,you really have to keep doing the same stuff/job for a long time - repetitive work. Management focus is on numbers, metrics, reports, team performance irrespective of the test setup challenges and issues. Mental pressure to bring up innovative ideas as if we have a very leisure time - innovation decides your performance at the end not the on-time work deliverables and quality. <mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;"> As the work is repetitive - career growth is limited</mark>. No work life balance - strive to complete the tasks on time in addition to other unnecessary activities as mentioned above, like too many meetings, team connects, test setup issues etc., 0% Chance of Onsite opportunities, keep struggling at offshore with test setup issues. Compensation is average - Depends on years of experience x 2, which is similar to Service based companies. Doesn't get a feel of working at Product Based organization to experience high CTC benefits....Read More
