Most current managers & directors are two-faced, deceptive and arrogant, not to mention poisonously ambitious. I know these are powerful words, but I still choose to use them. I had a great stint there overall, but I also had a couple of bad situations, and my manager was quick to put the blame on me and twist the whole story.
If in doubt while working there, don't believe your Manager or Director. Head to the management team (the VPs not the current Directors) in US or India, they can usually sort things out. Mastech is very transparent that way and they should be considering the people they choose to lead their teams - yuck!
