- Report oriented NOT result oriented ( nothing is working but my boss insists on mindless reports which are then dissected for lack of inanities ) - blame oriented not action oriented ( code is not released in time NOR is it effective but the focus is on whom to blame , mostly the lowest cog) - no one here, asks the questions “doesthis make sense to my business ?” “ will this add to my long term or short term profits?” “ does this attract more customers to my app?” “Does this make sense to my customers?” Mindless senseless day to day activities … all of which… are outsources to the extremely toxic TCS work environment While in office premises you have all Managers & above yelling & screaming at the outsourced resources all day Powers that be ensure that no productive work can happen during the office hours & come up with ‘late night & weekend must dos” for everyone reporting to them while they march off home...Read More

Everything. No work life balance, toxic and inefficient leadership. Especially the Analytics head is narcissistic who makes life hell for everyone working under him.

There exists a paucity of reasons for one to harbor any affection for this company.

Dislikes

In the realm of leadership, an unfortunate dearth of excellence prevails. Those entrusted with stewardship display a regrettable lack of proficiency. The delicate equilibrium between professional duties and personal well-being appears conspicuously absent. One might employ rather unsavoury language to describe the situation,going so far as to term it a lamentable quagmire. To add to the disquiet,official expenses remain unrequited. A discernible strategic void looms large, overshadowed by and excess of unproductive meetings. Regrettable, there exists a palpable deficiency in both reverence for and comprehension of the intricate artistry of software engineering. The product teams, it seems,are preoccupied with internal political machinations,harbouring a desire for its misfortune. The situation unfolds like an incessant and disconcerting game of musical chairs within the realm of assigning blame. Strategic vision and effective communication elude this establishment,preventing those they've engaged from executing their roles effectively. To put it mildly,it is disheartening abyss. One might even facetiously remark that the 'H' in HR has been rendered redundant....Read More

In recent times, the HR department has taken commendable strides in enhancing employee engagement. Their proactive approach extends to orchestrating dialogues between top-tier leaders and staff. Furthermore, their efforts have borne fruit in the recruitment of highly skilled individuals. This positive trajectory suggests that the HRdepartment should undoubtedly persist with their current initiatives....Read More

However, the organization faces the repercussions of inadequate planning and the setting of unattainable objectives. This lack of foresight necessitates a disappointing outcome - the squandering of a long-anticipated extended weekend. In an attempt to offset the absence of well-structured strategies from leadership, another long weekend of 2023 is poised to slip through unproductive hands. Predominantly, the senior management's inclination is to summon developers and team members at a moment's notice, irrespective of their pre-existing personal commitments, to facilitate urgent production deployments. Regrettably, this practice is perpetuated without any consideration for prior engagements. This forthcoming weekend, during the extended Independence Day long off, is destined to echo the same narrative. Numerous colleagues, both from within the company and external vendors, would have strategically allocated this time for personal pursuits. Existing literature on program and project management failures consistently underscores the importance of evading such pitfalls. Emphasizing the significance of gauging team bandwidth and building in task buffers, this guidance is regrettably disregarded here. Instead, the prevailing approach entails arbitrarily assigning deadlines and then coercing teams to fit intricate plans into these unyielding timelines. Consequently, teams find themselves compelled to toil late hours and relinquish weekends to align with this ill-conceived PLAN - an acronym emblematic of Poor, Loose, Ambiguous, and Non-realistic expectations - emblematic of the prevailing ethos within the concerned office....Read More

You get to travel a lot. And if you are at some level, you can enjoy Taj stays.

Dislikes

Very demotivating place to work. No one cares on how people are growing, what re the challenges they are facing. Even the HR department has no control on what's going on. In last 3 years, inha e seen teams working on atleast 4 to 10 weekend days in a month. And if you are not working, you are asked to move out ( sugar-coated - don't come to office from Monday). If HR wants to have some meetings, this will come to them from multiple people. The product has no vision , the releases are all screwed up , as there is no prioritisation, no planning. Even minor release are delayed by 2 to 3 months. And after delays, they are just thrown to users. With high number of defects put under the carpet. There are NO processes at all, from requirements to planning to execution. Commitments ar...Read More

Absolutely Nothing

Dislikes

1. Work culture - everyone is a delivery manager. No one knows what work is to be done, how it is to be done. Employees are questioned whole taking their own leaves. Managers can be on leave for months, but we need to give explanations for 2 days leaves as well 2. Leadership - no respect for employees. Employees are considered labourers. 3. HR - nothing related to employee welfare is done by the HRs. They are just an extension of management. They are merely puppets to managers...Read More
