-You can always find yourself surrounded by people incompetent and lacking communication skills (also anytime you can find many talented and good natured people)
-Performance management has flaws; its your rapport with your supervisor that decides your feedback NOTHING else(...yes not even your work..!!!!!)

Advice to Senior Management

Make performance management multidimensional involving more that just supervisor input.
Senior management need to interact more ofter ( on relavant topics i mean!!!)

Pros

Great projects, technically never behind, urge to learn more would get satisfied

Cons

crazy working hours, laddering/appraisal process is biased, stronger the voice stronger is the vote, elite club that gets back to back promotions and appraisals. senior management is unable to control situations at times. onsite teams are demanding and have no real understanding of the offshore teams concerns

Advice to Senior Management

Get 360 degrees feedback implemented to end the biased process of laddering/appraisals. some senior managers just suck. people management skills are totally lacking. HR and Finance teams are over burdened and reflect the same with their lack of response & concern.
