Tata Digital Architect Reviews

Likes

-No Vision -No Mission rather than abusing employees -Architect should first work on 5-6 projects as new architects do not join. -They should do project management co ordination job. -Code Review -Product Design(Functional not technical )as Functional Owners are incapable or close to boss. -Favouritism -Buy small company and then realise the technical solutions they were looking for is not capable of having that capabilities as CTO and Chief Architects are managers not technologist. -Most of the managers and heads are only operational managers who require their teams to explain any smallest things. -Dream to be Amazon by looking at designs like bingo adds. All above quality makes my day because I feel I am in a comedy show....Read More

-Product shop is run by marketing guys who has neither functional or technical knowledge as they were part of CEO/CTO s yes men . -People join as heads has no basic understanding of how product factory work. -Less planning and understanding.Hence spend months in various testing. -No ESOPS but expectation people will work round the clock for TATA brands only. -Anyway ESOPS will be applicable more in numbers if at all they give to incapable managers and heads who never work late hours and weekends.Only give home-works to other employees (who are ill or their family members are ill or hospitalised etc)and then goes on 15 days uninterrupted vacations without mails and phone as mentioned in one of the feedback:-) with families. -They sit in teams showing they are in call in one of the room and being not available attending family functions as well :-). -They just loop in mails and ask people to understand without any context. -Engineering Managers/Heads/Delivery Heads support business managers/Heads/Product Managers as most of them are operation managers scratch each others back and make sure taking advantage of junior folks. No I don't dislike.I should have known this before joining as I should have done my research that origin is still TCS who are known to be abuser even in USA....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

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

It is a Tata company, so it continues to attract some good people too.

Dislikes

The culture is quite poor. While the new CEO seems to have made efforts to change things, the overall work culture still isn't great, as a lot of the previous leadership continue. Hope Ratan Tata's passing, makes people remember his spirit and values, and what it means to be a Tata company. Right now, I guess I'm not sure if we can say that we are.

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.
