- More than 80% of the work done here is crap, but they want rock star developers to join the organization. The fact is people who are aware of the culture here hardly join the company. There is negligible lateral hiring and the attrition rate is enormous. Freshers join here since the salary levels are high.
- The freshers who join here are very good and talented thanks to the tough interview levels. This could actually create a good talent pool in years to come. But is the company doing anything to nurture their talents? The work is crap. Some of the mid-level leads/mentors have below average skills and are mostly interested in finding faults of others instead of helping them grow. The code review feedback given by these people generally depict the same. Some think since they have power they can insult anyone in a group chat instead of talking to them directly, even if that employee is very senior.
- If you think that is mediocre, then you probably haven't met the two new CEO's. Yes two CEO's one for dev and one for testing. These were people who were in sales earlier, they have zero management skills. The Dev CEO is some one who has no new ideas and copies all policies from other companies. He broadcasts messages and people find it worthless, he is a CEO people will never look up to. The other CEO is at best the testing head of the company who is probably always working from home and has no professionalism. Now, working from home is a good thing if that rule is same for everyone. She intervenes in every matter as if she has no other work.
- The delivery managers (at-least the one I was associated with) have good skills. But they probably should be more considerate towards employees.
- HR; is a joke in Mindfire. Probably the HRs themselves don't know what their role is in this organization.
- The policies here are joke as well, according to the Leave policy one is entitled to take 2 weeks leave for their wedding, but I have known many people who didn't get more than a week leave.
- WFH; this is probably the most confusing rule in Mndfire. The "original" CEO encourages everyone to WFH but the entire management has a problem if people WFH.
- People work in a particular technology for years and then they are moved to another technology and then expected to be pros in that technology in a month. If not, they are forced to leave.
- The CEO shared a 18 month vision and the org has probably moved away from it instead of going towards it. It is going to be two years since then.
- A sad story and a sinking ship.
