- The SDE team members were pretty Good. Not all folks are bad. Some team members know the domain and are genuinely good. These are the ones that should be made the Product Owners.

Here is my opinion friends. Please take your call after reading this. - There is a layer at the top. This layer controls all the decision making. They control the timeline of your delivery, they only tell you the effort for a task. Yes!! thats correct. If you are an SDE and you are new and you come back saying, "Hey! I think I will be able to finish this task in 3 days, they will say, Why 3 days? Complete this in 1 day". This is hilarious. !!! Then you will have to do a shoddy job of delivering your task in 1 day with low code quality, multiple bugs, lower customer satisfaction and what not!! You will be ashamed of yourself for doing the job that way. - If you are a puppet and say yes to everything they say, you will be able to influence this top layer and then you get to advance in your career. Else my friend, Good Luck!! "This layer has a very peculiar set of skills that make them a nightmare for people like us. If we don't question them or debate their decision, that will be the end of it. They will not look for you. They will not pursue you. They will not downplay you. If not, they will look for you. They find you in meetings or elsewhere and they will not kill you but you will be taken, for a ride!!" - The company wants to work like a start-up but thinking and actually working like a startup are two different things altogether. Startup cultures thrive on inclusion and being autonomous. I have worked at multiple startups and one thing they all have in common is that they encourage the teams to be autonomous. This is not the case with Subex. It has a long way to go in this regard. - There was a next generation platform project which unfortunately I was not part of but I observed it very closely. I saw poor decision making everywhere in this project. Unrealistic timelines, shoddy code quality, lack of proper designs, no documentation and what not. It was "Avada Kedavra!!" - Then there is the career architecture. This one looks like a legal document. In fact, if anyone can tick all the boxes, please make him a VP. One simple fact is that different teams require different skill sets at different points in time and depends on the situation. However, even if you did your best job, they will use some definition from this career archi lecture (you know what I mean) to send you back in your career. - The team members sincerely want to do a good job. But every thing that has quality takes time and time is not what is given at Subex. - Some team members just enjoy going to MWC. God only knows what they do!! It seems like a vacation for them. I sincerely wish Subex had a good top management layer. Leaders can make or break teams. The top rung at Subex are not leaders, they are bosses. I wish Subex all the best in their future endeavours....Read More
