Management is pathetic, especially those hired straight from college (With only bachelor's, that too not computer science) and made team leads within 2-3 yrs. First thing they don't have good and deeper technical knowledge as they don't necessarily have all basic computer science background and understanding of product as whole. Having knowledge just about a language (like C/C++) is not same as having actual product development knowledge. Second thing since they are straight out of college they don't have any outside experience and they feel that they do the amazing work while actually its not the case. Also they are just too random/impetuous and irresponsible in their decisions.These guys just tend to make their Evals/Compensation better by making their team members to work the way their managers expects from them. Nowhere in all this, actual product development is been given more importance. They give more importance to the actual no.of hrs worked on rather than the efficiency and output. Also here more importance is given to number of bugs fixed, rather than actually finding the root causes and reducing the number of bugs generated in first place. That's the reason why sometimes its more of a mechanical work/mechanical temporary fixes than a good, challenging work which requires talent. These team leads don't give any credit to the team members who actually work on, but rather will try to explain their contribution in any good thing the members do.
Its hard for smart/talented computer science people to strive in the company. The company just needs to maintain their random codebase by keep on adding new things without any good design, introducing new bugs in existing thing, fixing them to introduce something new..... one day that can end up beyond repairable !!
