Pros

Cons
The company's work environment and work-life balance are unsatisfactory, with employees working from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. The management in Dhaka appears to be ill-equipped to onboard new personnel. The HR representative displays a lack of respect for employees and poor time management skills. As an HR professional, it is essential to possess people skills. The organization follows a manual scrum methodology from 2010 and runs scrum teams manually. To improve the situation, the company needs to consider hiring a project manager (PM) locally instead of having a PM in the UK who is out of touch with the work culture in Bangladesh and cannot manage a team effectively. The PM from the UK, who lacks Agile certification and people management skills, is running an Agile team, which is concerning. The team syncs are inadequate, and the project manager, scrum master, QAs, and developers are always in conflict. The QA team based in India seems disinterested in the work of others. The Scrum Master appears to be more of an assistant to the Project Manager and is resistant to change. The organization should prioritize adopting new and better practices to improve its performance.
