- The development team is not given any value at least in the office here in India. If you are a developer or a QA, you get managed by everyone possible. It gets really frustrating when you are questioned by someone who is not even closely qualified or knowledgeable as you.
- The products are old and unstable. If you are looking to work on some modern technologies, this is not the right place.
- What I understood from my interaction with the folks in the US is that the culture there is pretty good and laid back. But the management has totally failed in bringing that to the office in India. They cannot blindly rely on what they hear from the managers, they should probably try to talk to the lower level employees as well.
- They have this fancy TPM role most of whom can neither understand the business nor have a mere idea of what they are doing . Instead of trying to learn the product or trying to understand the business, the only thing they are good at is harassing the dev's and QA. Someone has to teach them that they are "Technical Project Managers" and all they get to manage is the project not people.
- The only thing the dev managers care about is how much time you are logging on a daily basis. They do not give a damn about how your TPM's treat you. Apparently there is a line between the duties of the managers and TPM's and they are not interested in hearing you talk about it.
- Transparency is one of the core values of the company and you never see it anywhere in the organization.
