Pros

Writing this for the sake of adding something in pros - Learning is good.

Cons

Here comes the list of items that should be talked about: 1. First of all if we talk about the tech center in kochi, it is highly mishandled. The person who is sitting on top position there is not the correct person to give incharge of such a big team. 2. The environment is so toxic that people there just want to run away as soon as they get an offer (even if it is from less known or some low tier company). 3. EM there sorry I have to write this, is a person who is highly incapable of handling people in a product based company. I mean he only wants to get work done no matter if it is possible to do it in the time frame "he decides" and get his image clean infront of the BLR people. He is the kind of person if any of the SDE-1/2 comes in his bad books he is always in a revenge mode with them. Making their life hell. Disrespecting them in front of everyone. 4. EM has a hobby of changing priorities. Today Task1 will be top priority and he will ask to stop all the work and complete Task1 and the next day Task2 will be top priority and command will be to stop everything including Task1 and complete Task2. And it is infinitely nestable. 5. There is no empathy towards the employee and we are just treated as a code writing machine. 6. There is too much politics running here, Although some of the politicians left but still there are some who can ruin your day if you are the target. 7. Then comes the salary, even service companies / Mass recruiters pays significantly higher than what we are getting. All motivation dies when you get peanuts after working round the clock. 8. Then comes the slack channel which most of the time is filled with disrespectful language of Top leadership. The basic respect which an employee deserves is missing in this org. There are other things too but I don't want to go there.
