Cardinal Health Sr. Software Engineer reviews

The management of India Management is terrible, and the company lacks a focus on its employees. Despite its reputation as a product company, India Management operates more like a service-based company. Employees have no say in the company's policies, and when they raise issues, the India head responds with a meaningless philosophical lecture. There is no work-life balance, and the company has no clear goals. India Management wastes money on contractors and has poor HR policies. The company enforces unrealistic timelines and places too much trust in its TA team to manage company policies. The pay scale is terrible, and there are no opportunities for promotion. Tech leaders are subject to politics, and the company does not hire new graduates. The MCC team conducts mental health checks frequently to give the impression of caring for employee well-being, but the insurance policy and PF contribution are both inadequate. It's best to seek employment elsewhere, in a service-based company or a startup, rather than remain at India Management and hinder your career.

Above my manager, trying to engage leadership felt like running headfirst into a brick wall. There was often "analysis paralysis" - our team would need something, and months would go by until a decision could be made. By that time though, it was too late. Almost all companies have budgets for things like work from home stipends, team meals, etc. Fuse does not. It requires CIO approval to get a team out for a meal. You have to put in a special request with several rounds of approvals to get something as trivial as a peripheral for your computer. The red tape is exhausting. Lastly, leadership seems to believe that their name and "startup" building carries more appeal than it actually does. Local talent no longer needs to look for opportunities physically close; and as a result top talent will have no issue finding companies with more compelling pay and perks.
