Its a long list:
1. They will just about make anyone a team lead. For example: My manager was useless. A terrible listener. Will never try to understand a word of what i am saying and then just give their own opinions. After a while, when they would hear it from someone else, they would write a long scathing email about why i didnt inform them.
2. Each team lead here has their own favorites and they are the ones who get good reviews and they can do nothing wrong. If your manager doesnt like you, you are screwed. Anything that you do will be reviewed 10,000 times and they will still find faults and raise questions about your performance. They will also compare you to their favorites and ask why cant you be like them. I am all for a healthy competition but everyone has their own working style so its unfair to compare people. This is the first thing a manager would know. But then they dont undergo any sort of training. HR doesnt even think it is worth spending time and money on training their people on how to be good managers.
3. The HR department here does not care what you are doing. I know someone who reached out to them because they were having problems with their lead and they didnt even reply to that person's email.
4. They expect the employees to be working 24x7 but will never show any appreciation for it. People have stayed back and worked late in the night for projects so that they could meet deadlines. Instead of rewarding them or a single thank you, they were given more work. You have to sacrifice your personal life if you are working there.
5. No career opportunities. No promotions. You are just stunted in your career.
