      Clueless management, no tech standards, arrogant CTO, Sinking Ship

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      it was a great place initially, There was a initial joining bonus

      Cons

      Company has hired way too many managers and people with below average skills, thereby reducing the overall intellect of the teams. There are Engineering managers who are clueless about anything that's happening. Only thing they know is jira ticket is not moving. The directors know only to copy paste comments, but add no real value to the teams. CTO is the most arrogant person who enforces his sub-standard solutions without even considering it's pros and cons. Earlier we were using Golang in most projects, CTO forced everyone to switch to python just because he feels python is good. Real talented people have no growth here, if you can sugar coat well and just write some sub-standard code, you will find this place good. All good folks have started to leave. More are going to leave in coming months.

      Not a favorable place to work

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Remote work (although they will soon be moving to hybrid model soon)

      Cons

      - Most managers hired in the last year are not technically skilled, which results in a lot of architectural mistakes. - Developers are expected to start work on projects that are not even clearly defined and since managers are not skilled its difficult to make them understand why HLD and LLD is important. - Due to poor planning products are mediocre at best - Due to poor planning and constant changes in products developers are expected to work for long hours and make the changes overnight

      Business outlook

      Pros

      1. CTC is above market standards and salary comes on time 2. Working on latest technology

      Cons

      No culture and process what ever CTO says is law. Employees are made to work long hours and almost on all weekend WITHOUT overtime benefits Process is considered as overhead managers doesn’t responsibility for their decisions and change whenever they want Employees are expected to work without questioning Who ever objects or questions management is let go No DIVERSITY :Entire Management and 70-80 employees ate ex employees of Huawei who worked with CTO before
