- employees are stretched beyond office hours for trivial issues such as meetings, plannings, open-source projects(excluding 8 hours of deliverables/day)
- resources shared across multiple projects without sync across managers. No priority set for deliverables
- An immediate joinee will be expected to give 30, 60, 90 day presentations where new design changes need to be proposed for product; these presentations will be equivalent to interviews where management will mock your efforts stating you need to scale
-any new technology or technically interesting problem must be taken up on weekends and beyond office hours
- for a new joinee, a 'major secret project' will be assigned which cannot be spoken of and must be done beyond office hours. In case you deny, they will keep requesting you to take it up in 1-to-1 meetings with manager
- toxic work culture as due to above points, everyone is stretched all the time. For a new joinee, no time to understand the product, your buddy will also not have time to help you out as he/she is stretched as well
- lengthy meetings extended for trivial issues. 15-30 mins Scrum goes on from 1-1.5 hours. Other than this, 4-5 hours of meetings every day for developers other than their 8 hours of dev work. You can expect a a 10.30 PM call in the morning followed by a 6 am call in the morning
- aggresive management where they may insult/scold you in monthly meetups when your demo your leanings
- No process for anything. Right from onboarding, to setup, to access to offboarding, everything was a mess. eg : Getting access to Jira, Confluence took a month.
**poor work life balance, toxic culture. One may be mentally impacted to work normal hours after being a part of this organization
