The mission of the firm

Dislikes

The culture and the general competence of people at the firm is very poor. As a result, governance is bad. Salaries are determined and paid based on who the CEO and his chamchas like. The CEO has randomly appointed his wife as a head of a business line and the two of them collectively are skimming away a lot of salary at the top. All in all, just won't recommend anybody to join the firm.

Some seniors who have been part of the organization for a long time are true gems from whom there is so much to learn from and grow. They are humble and offer to teach very patiently.

Dislikes

A lot of missions are tunning for namesake with no seniors on board as subject matter experts hence the organization is ruining careers of youngsters who join the team with a hope to learn and grow. The CEO and CTO are the most incompetent people, very self absorbed and very disrespectful of people who want to bring fresh ideas to the team. Having no meaningful prior experience of working with the government, their know-it-all attitude is doing nothing but squandering donor's and founder's money on pay checks of few seniors and yes-people at the expense of those who work and bring the relevant experience. Numerous partnerships with organizations happen to sponsor outside consultants while outrightly dismissing internal team's credentials and ideas. Few power hungry senior members are the most insecure and professionally incompetent ones but they hold the powers for most decision making. The high attrition rate is just because of those few people on top who have ruined the organization which is surviving now on PR and goodwill of founders and attached donors. In the name of non-profit organization, eGov is serving as a heavily paid sabbatical for most top leaders at the expense of enthusiastic youngsters who continue to be over-worked and under-paid and not acknowledged at all.

Some of the people are very nice and easy to work with (Primarily in the engineering team).

Dislikes

- VP product Jojo Mehra is a fraud and an imposter. No body in the organization knows how he got this job as he has no idea about product management and he's the worst manager you'll work in your career. Micro-manages, no product skills, & very unpleasant person in general. - CEO, Viraj Tyagi is umimaginative and unoriginal leader. At max he will try to copy some innovation from other domain and present it as his idea and most of the time will use generic words as he's not clear with his thoughts. He prefers suck-ups like Jojo Mehra, Manish Srivastava, etc. Another reason he has surrounded himself with these idiots. - Work is usually not thought though and then there will be a lot of blame game. Top down management and micro management style further reduces employee efficiency and frustrates them.
