-production support entirely outsourced to india, yet developer teams in US stuck doing their job, instead of doing actual story points
-used to be you could make your own schedule but not really anymore since most teams are hybrid with 80-90% India devs and 10-20% US developers
-leadership allowing hiring to continue in India and stopping hiring in the US because cost per developer in the US is higher compared to adding several heads for the same price in India. Story Points delivered has gone down drastically as teams have been decimated by the 2020 layoffs and more people have left Stateside, all the while being replaced by workers in India who routinely introduce vast and breaking changes, if they do any work at all. developers in the us are stuck cleaning up after/doing the work for teams in india, but they still get paid, which is unfair for employees in the US and the company's legacy
-leadership consistently enforces 14-20 hr days every 2-3 months for around a week under the guise of following 'SAFE Agile practices' for salaried employees, forcefully making employees on the west coast of the US work from 6 am until 6-9 pm or even later.
-the more people leave stateside, the happier leadership becomes because they make more money based off freed up salary (higher revenue vs expenditure)
-company was fine until previous CTO made the india money grab with the opening of a dev center there
-pay is typically pretty far below market average, and leadership team for years has hidden behind nebulous 'market research' statistics that are never exposed to employees to justify everything they do
-us teams provide vast majority of business value, but with people leaving and almost no one really left in the states to do a lot of work, that value will go down drastically in the next 2-3 years
