The Great Tech Migration: A Never-Ending Saga Every year, like clockwork, TDL went through its Annual Tech Migration—a sacred ritual where perfectly fine systems were replaced with newer, shinier ones that broke everything. This year was no different. The failure of Padila's plan of practising Flutter Web versus Tata Digital Web Architecture

Dislikes

Experiments on technology stack. Not listening to senior and juniors in a team. No clear roles and responsibilities. Forming internal commitee with HR and forcing people to shift to Flutter web. Misuse head of Architecture power and position to just danda maro things from a 10000 feet. Unnecessary over engineering of tech stack in web by bringing Flutter web. False promises were made to product and engineering team of less bugs. Same level of security, performance issues came up with Flutter web. After the failure of...Read More

Please read this and avoid joining this company at all costs- 1. Product department is led by ex-TCS person with zero Product acumen. New CEO has made Product team as extended Tech team 2. Financial Services is the only potential star for this company and you need to be in the close circle of ex-Indusind bankers to do anything 3. Tech team is pathetic and you will be blamed for their mistakes 4. Business is of small size and there is no money to deliver any new feature including hygiene changes 5. Culture of the company is worst - No transparency, lot of micro management, leaders are clueless of future, central decision making 6. Compensation is below average with no ESOPs (only senior leaders get it) 7. Do not expect to learn anything, there is no peer learning, best practice learning or structure learning 8. Promotions are full of favoritism bias and not based on merit or potential 9. Most people are looking out, good ones have left or are leaving...Read More

At the helm of Tata Digital is a new CEO who demonstrates commendable vision and dedication. his committment to the company's mission and values is evident, and he genuinely seeks to drive the organization towards success. However, it appears that the CEO may be somewhat mislead by his direct reports. While he is a capable leader, the information and feedbacks he receives from seniors may not always reflect the sad state of affairs within the organization. This disconnect can create challenges in decision-making and strategey implementation. Senior staff accountability - the current challenges facing us can largely be attributed to the action and decisions of senior leadership. There is a growing sentiment among employees that this group bears a significant responsibility for the company's current predicament. Their leadership style and approach to management may not align with the needs of the team. As a result, the morale has take a hit, and many employees feel disillusioned with the direction....Read More

One of the most pressing needs at Tata Digital is the need for a cultural overhaul. The current company culture can be described as stagnant and fearful, with limited opportunities for growth and collaboration. Employees are expressing a desire for environment that fosters innovation, open dialog and mutual respect. A positive workspace culture is important for attracting and retaining top talent (which seems to be departing by busloads), and it is only important that the leadership redoubles their commitment to this important cultural pillar. Remember the famous adage: Culture eats Strategy for breakfast....Read More

- 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

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

Work Culture is great, but this is very specific to team you're in. Lots to learn being young startup across all tech stack. Overall good.

Dislikes

No proper procedures or approvals to get things done, lacks leadership. No proper role and levels distinction. Promotions are very slow and kinda biased. Appraisal hike is very less for SDEs.
