Worst place I have ever worked

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

"Unlimited" Flex Time - never really saw any time used unless working a full day from a hotel room is considered PTO. No Micro Management, not really any management of any kind even when escalation is needed.

Cons

1. in my experience salary was low comparable to other companies for same position 2.work load was tremendous. normal for most to work 60+ hr weeks to keep up which lowers your pay even lower 3. high turnover and off shoring skilled labor led to delays low quality designs and little resources to spread around, and you are held responsible for results. you are primary point of contact for customers who have been unhappy for awhile. 6am to 8 pm phone availability and weekend is not abnormal

My worst experience ever

Business Outlook

Pros

* Nothing * If you are a spineless psychopat who perfected rectal alpinism you will made a career even if you are totally incompetent in everything valuable

Cons

Where to even begin? Incompetent colleagues? Tragically incompetent and evil managers? That people who are long in the company are literally idiots not understanding even basics of their job? Wage extremely below average? Lies? Cliques? Favoritism? Toxic environment? Treating software developers like slaves and punish them if they have different opinion how to do something? Punish people for doing their job the best they can? Disfunctional infrastructure (it took them almost a month to provide me all acceses so I could at least download source code and then they tried to frame me for being incompetent rather than blame themselves). Literally everything. If you want to experience toxic, rude, crony, corrupt, gossiping environment for laughable wage you are in a right place.

Pros

- No fund constraints - Fairly laid back environement. - Better pay than some MNCs

Cons

- Management thinks culture can be developed by throwing money at people. - Most of employees from persistent, hence it is more like working in persistent rather than Siemens. Siemens is just a name. - Manager was worst, got feedback after 1.5 years that performance was not upto mark. When asked to change the project was told that no project is available hence need to be put in PIP. -Lot of lateral hires facing the same problem. Even senior mangers sacked after some dirty politics. -Zero work for developers. Do indeed join if you are a tester. -Nobody has operational independence. In short a better paying Infy, Persis, or Cogni. It is not an MNC dont expect such things from this company.
