- No work life balance, you are expected to work from 9AM - 11PM. Even on weekends your manager calls you and expects to fix issues. Expects to finish sprint tasks over the weekend. Wrong estimations.
- Your health is going to get bad everyday.
- Pay is less, not even comparable to service based companies.
- Internal culture is just as a service based organization, you are assigned to projects as per manager's choice. Can swap you into any project any time.
- You are expected to work on all platforms, code in all languages and do everything.
- You are exploited and your ideas are too in the name of hackathons, awards etc.
- Lot of political drama goes around between US and Hyderabad teams.
- Expected to join evening calls between 7pm-9pm everyday which last for 1hr to couple of hrs sometimes.
- No growth aspects, you are expected to work like an architect at a developer position and architects work like people managers.
- Don't fall into the trap where managers persuade you with awards or stocks that can give you monetary benefits. Conditions Apply.
- You will see contractors everywhere and you will also be billed into projects like one of them, inspite of being a full-time.
- No real product development happens, it's all fire fighting everywhere and unrealistic deadlines.
- The highest attrition rate i have ever seen in a product development organization till date. Many have left within the 6 months probation period. Some have absconded without notice.
- There are no good technical leaders in the middle management, managers do micro-management, lot of emotional stress.
