Unappreciative management, no personal life

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

People who have empty lives, who need something to distract them from their current life's problems will find such an artificial high pressure work environment suited to their temprament.

Cons

They hire very accomplished and senior people and make them perform repetitive tasks. I have been expected to get off work at 6 pm and starting working in the evening. I get work assigned to me at 7pm on a Friday and due on Monday. This has been happening weekend after weekend . During the week I get just a few hours of sleep everyday. I will not want this life even if I were getting a million dollars annually.

Business Outlook

Pros

The timings are very flexible and people are very friendly to work with. Work is good and the amount of time that is given is considerate.

Cons

Poor middle level management which does not quite map the progress of the project to the success of the product. They chip and change things as and when they like. Many projects get sidelined due to which there is heartburn for employees. Considering how big a company it has become there is absolutely no software process model in place and everything takes place haphazardly.
