Worst WLB in Zoho. But very pampered with free food and facilities though.
9 hours on good days, 10-12 hrs on worst days and even extending to 14hrs.
Compensation bieng not that much fulfilling, why can't you just stand on stricter time limits? Why do you stress yourself? Will they fire you if you don't do it or you are happy about working?
Well, good question. My team lead is a very good and empathetic person. I'm loyal to him, and sometimes I work hard to stick to the deadline that was forced upon him by some other team. And yes, I love the work as well. But Sridhar's scoffing and questions like "are s/w engineers are overpaid' while he is underpaying us has really made me annoyed.
Are you both based in Chennai or US offices?
Yes, at least I'm working at Chennai office
When I was a fresher, I use to work more than 15 hours, with unguided mediocre code. I find my lead is happy live my life by my will, he use to assign work when I'm about to leave my place. Now as a Senior Engineer (I call myself Senior), without nodding with my Lead's non-scalable Engineering, with purposeful work delay with less Hike rate, I could able to balance my WLB at sometime. But, for somedays I was expected to work without sleep.
Thats disheartening to hear. Its the leads job to support and guide juniors
I’m not at zoho but I work yolo
