- Worst Managers one organisation could have. They will not listen to you anytime if you don't have close relationship with them.
- Dirty politics being played at every level.
- Managers never have the answers for your questions related to promotion, salary, ratings. They will just blabber something and tell you will look into it which never happens.
- Loyalty is not a virtue for Indian Management. They don't even care for how many years you have been with them.
- They have the worst policy when comes to promoting employees who have been with the organisation for so many years,
- New joiners with 3 years exp. gets the position of Senior Software Engineer but the one who is in BT since 5 years is still a Software Engineer. Just because they had to pay more to the guy who is joining from elsewhere.
- There is a big gap between salaries of people who have been here for years and the ones who joins from other companies. Management is never transparent on that nor they want to minimize this gap. e.g For someone who has been with BT for 4 years(joined as a fresher) has CTC of 6 LPA, but someone who joins from other company has CTC of 10-11 LPA.
- They can invest in lateral joinees for everything, but not give a better pay to those who are loyal and know many things for their projects. They are okay with project being delayed when someone leaves and that's why they are paying hefty penalties in many projects.
- HR is near to non-existent. He will just save his fellow managers. When someone resigns for being paid less, he will say "we can't pay you more, you are free to go." Then on the last day of notice period, he will come up with some offer just to show to his manager that he offered but the employee declined.
- When someone goes to HR with complaint, he will immediately tell it to the respective manager and then the manager will harass the employee in one or other way.
- You are never assigned the right project. If you have experience in certain programming language, you will not be given a project where it is used. When you request your manager to change the project, it will take about 6-8 months. Till then your manager won't talk about that again.
- Managers seems to have no guts to make a decision and defend it in front of higher management.
- So much politics that deserving candidates will be pushed around and the rewards go to someone else who has done nothing but is close to manager.
- You will get on-site if you don't know anything in the project. If you show that you know something, manager will say, "we should send someone else who doesn't know so that they can learn."
- Also, if some employee ask for on-site, they will never get it. But in every case, it's the Indian management who decides whether we need to send someone or not. They will wait for their favorites to get free from some critical stuff and then send them. It always happens that someone else gets the on-site and the work is done by others.
- For some projects, they'll have budget for on-sites of 4-5 people for 6 months and for some projects, they don't even have budget for hiring new employees.
- Management essentially lack guts to face the reality of current software industry in terms of paying good salaries. BT will give you a good hike while hiring, but after that it's single digit increment. Don't understand the logic of giving same percentage increase to manager and an entry level employee.
- Managers have prejudice against some employees who are outspoken and tells them the truth upfront. These employees will never get good rating even after working their a** off.
- So many people with good experience joins and understands that this is not a good place to be in. They leave within a year. Some have left even within 2-3 months.
- This center is only good for those who wants to be managers or who knows bootlicking.
