“Process Oriented, A decade old on technology”
Pros1. Good work-life balance with friendly people around.
2. Pay is good
Cons1. Technology is very old. Still, decade-old skype is used for communication with many restrictions. They recently enabled audio calls on skype due to covid. Many other tools are also the same with many restrictions.
2. We can not use any gadgets with laptop like Bluetooth devices (headphones, mouse, keyboard, etc..). They provide laptops with fingerprint sensors. But it's disabled. Can not change desktop wallpaper or any other customizations are allowed.
3. They bring in new ways of working like Agile. But, still, the boss people follow the same old process with the name of Agile (AINO). Managers here think they are the boss. Instruct you line by line what to do on every standup. You would not have anything to do on your own. They do not need developers. They just need coders. Scrum call goes for 1 hour with all discussions everyday. They think only they can think and provide solutions.
4. Too much paperwork (processes) for every month's release. We spend more time(weeks) talking about simple things. In the AI world, still we need to get clearance/approvals from 5+ different departments manually while relieving.
5. Lot of discrimination based on language, location, role/position.
6. It doesn't matter what you work. But you must make 3 code commits per day mandatorily. Yes, you read it right. three mandatory commits per day. To maintain a commit score, many try to commit dummy commits with empty lines, comma, full-stops, etc... Commit score is part of your performance.
7. For any new development, you are asked to use your personal laptop and if it works. We need to get multiple levels of approvals for installing the required softwares. Imaging, for upgrading java version on our local laptop or dev environment takes weeks.
8. Typical Indian government office-like culture.
9. No food coupons and other normal stuff which other companies provide.
10. Interviewed with all latest technologies but more than a decade old technology inside. :(
