Odessa Staff Engineer Reviews

The only thing I can think of is the free food. They have free food in the house, so if you are visiting office you can pre-book your meal.

Long list. Will try to highlight important ones. 1) Tech stack: They have their own odessa framework which basically sits on top of .net framework. So you will have to learn their framework first in order to work on any projects. There is no learning opportunities. 2) No proper requirements: There is no planning on how to gate the requirement. They just take the requirement without even understanding how their system works. Since their product is on old technology it is very difficult to do new changes in the product, which the non technical people doesn't understand. 3) Many senior tech employees doesn't know about the new tech skills and they will create a environment where they feel comfortable. 4) Office politics is worst here you will be evaluated based on your line manager feedback. So irrespective how much effort you put in, all will go into vain if you get bad feedback. Line manager will always put dev team under the bus for their mistakes. 5) Compensation and hikes is worst here and is not comparable as per the industry standards. The list is long as I said but these are the some major ones. One advice to new joiners is that only join if you don't have any other options. Advice to management is that invest on technology.

Good % hike while offering a job. However, once they find anyone with less pay with more years of experience, they will revoke the offer even 2 days before the joining date. one of my teammate got fired just because they found a new replacement with less pay. many of XAAS team VPs were fired because they questioned on estimation reduction plan of Management.

Dislikes

hire and fire structure. almost all team works like 12 hours + per day and 6 days week . company over commits to clients then with half of resource they struggle to complete the work with bad quality. if any one question on the estimation then they should be ready to be fired
