Thanks a lot for your feedback. The global strategy that has been set a couple of years ago has been confirmed moving forward, and we are working a lot on communication level to make it clear to everyone in the company, like in our 2021 kick-off or more recently in our last catch-up call. With regards to our management structure, it has been reviewed this year where needed, to be able to accelerate on our strategic priorities.

Pros

* Easy interview (just to desperately hire people as new joiners escape within 2-3 days of joining)

Cons

* Technology - 90% of projects are legacy projects (EJB, SOAP, JSF and the likes) * Work Culture - It is a product based company but the work culture is that of a service company - you will find no benefits of working on a product. Micromanagement is prevalent in all projects. The work culture is toxic because of the narrow minded managers who make the lives of developers hell. * Zero work life balance - follows 2 weeks sprint in which developers are overloaded with work - just to make more money with quick releases. * People - Most of the senior people are old school with desi mentality. Old timers of the company have their own groups and they do whatever they want - not even HRs can touch them. Outsiders are treated like slaves. * Agile - The company follows the agile blindly like a cult instead of adapting according to the project needs. The rules of having no QAs ( yes you heard it right, developers have to do all the testing), only 2 weeks sprints despite being a product based company, long scrum ceremonies, illogical work distribution in the name of agile - everything adds to employees' frustrations. * Policies - Leaves, salary, and hikes are very less compared other companies. HRs are just for the namesake and are toothless. * Zero onshore opportunities, zero job satisfaction.
