Very hard to find positives here but if one HAS to come up with something, we can say that there is a lot of opportunity for people to get their hands dirty when it comes to working on projects. You get no guidance or feedback and need to figure stuff on your own. A constant push for ownership will keep you running around addressingevery little task even if it is outside your scope. Since you will be held accountable for every single mishap that happens anywhere else in the company, you learn to be on top of things. Well, at least you can come out and say that you were "forged by fire"....Read More

1. Managers who are insensitive and lack accountability - they will throw you under the bus when something goes wrong but seldom give credit when something goes right. They lack professionalism and basic courtesy. There have even been instances where the employee was expected to complete some task when they were on leave for bereavement. Multiple good resources have quit citing a particular manager as the reason and guess what - the manager was promoted to senior manager while the resources have been let go. 2. No replacement for people leaving - this results in existing team's burden increasing without a corresponding increase in the reward for them. This results in more people quitting and hence perpetuating the vicious cycle. 3. Moving the goal-post when it comes to achievements - despite having regular check-ins wrt expectations and requirements for promotions, people constantly find themselves being told that "you did X, but you were expected to do X+Y". When X+Y is done, they are told that "the actual goal is X+Y+Z" and so on, thus ensuring that no one is eligible for promotions, while simultaneously getting more work extracted. 4. Constant shuffling and restructuring of the team combined with a steady stream of exits make it a very unstable work environment. 5. Gaslighting to make people feel like they are not good managers and that they will not make it elsewhere. 6. Employing threats to get work done - "your confirmation will be put on hold", "your hike is on the line" are some phrases one can expect to hear every week, especially around year-end. 7. Lack of structure for promotions and hikes. Leads to a lot of dissonance amongst the team members. 8. Impossible deadlines with no OT or comp-off - invariably, you will be expected to work on all saturdays and sundays (because of some release or the other) but you cannot expect comp off or OT....Read More

Full ownership of products, although you'll be running from pillar to post to justify where your time is going.
