This company is running by a confused CEO and some managers who never think about their employees. There are two sides of any coin and they always ignore the other side of it. They never think about side effects of any new policy and I think glassdoor is a medium to tell our problems to top level management.
What our project manger thinks about the project: If clients are happy, implies everything is going good. He doesn't care about the work environment, work pressure which is getting worst day by day. In case something went wrong with the project, every one loses their mind, so many code reviews will be scheduled, so many calls from CEO, Bonus deduction from your salary and so on.
I want to ask something:
1: Why these code reviews, DB reviews are being done after release of the project?
2: Why all the planning done after release of the project?
3: Why nobody questions our immediate lead?
4: Why all the rules and regulations are made for us(Developers/QAs/Designers | bottom level employees)?
Our leads who never bother about when we leave at the end of the day, they bother about when you have entered inside the office, how much time you spent on your desk, what all are the tabs opened in your browser.
They have one solution for every problem, "We will work on weekends."
There is zero trust shown by our leads for developers who works under them.
They interfere in your personal life and possibly they try to connect your personal stuff with the ongoing project.
They ignore your ideas/suggestion.
Our Code Reviewers: These guys will review your code after you pushed your codes to production.
They think they are the most superior people and never accept their mistakes if any.
They talk in a very harsh way, which is not at all professional.
There are two HRs but no one of use. First one never comes to office, last I saw her at the time of my joining and another one has very flexible time schedule(compressed as I described above). So forget about any issue if you have. :(
I think Deepika Padukone's #MyChoice video was very much inspired by our CEO.
New policies/changes introduced by our beloved CEO in recent past which goes up and down within short span of time.
eg: Let's have bonus for everyone #MyChoice
Let's not have any appraisal this year #MyChoice
Let's have internal review to fire some people. #MyChoice
Let's stop this internal review. #MyChoice
I want to share one incident, He decided not to give appraisal this year because we already got 12k as bonus few months back. So someone suggested, 'if you are not okay with appraisal, at least you can add the bonus or some part of bonus in our CTC' and his reply was mind blowing 'what if ISIS attacks or some apocalyptic situations like in 2012 movie happens then everyone's ' Does it make any sense?
This is how top level people talk here.
