Dislikes

1. The Pune leadership is the most unskilled and talentless bunch of engineering managers I have ever seen. They have entirely abandoned their technical role and reduced it to asking developers for status, pressurising the team to work more and setting ever increasing the number of meetings to justify their existence 2. Company expects developers to take multiple roles(frontend, backend, database, production issues, test, pipelines, infrastructure management). People who were hired for specific role are asked to be full stack engineers 3. Downsizing. Company removed roles they deemed unnecessary, like QA, UI/UX and process engineers 4. Cost cutting is insane. If a developer quits, there is no replacement and team is expected to take the extra work load. At max they will hire interns for 6 months which doesn't help the team 5. Managers take promotion for themselves and keep unreasonable target for engineers 6. As an engineer you are not supposed to be creative and solve a problem or task your way. You are supposed to blindly agree to whatever the manager tells you to do. They have a fancy term for it called "disagree and commit". It just means follow orders like a robot
