Sr. Management need to be little bit more transparent with employees

Pros

Has good technical talent and good low-mid level management. Policies are generally employee friendly, has good work life balance. There were decent technical challenges.

As a result of these changes most of the work happening in India seems to be in maintenance. A lot of good technical talent seems to just linger around without definitive purpose.

Some QEs get to do interesting work.

Not all QEs get good work. Usually they get boring manual testing and very repetivite work. Not challenging at all.

Performance and appraisal baised towards developers. As said QEs don't get to do great work and hence reflects in appraisal. QEs are stuck with boring things to do, all time is lost in there.

Advice to Senior Management

May be you guys are not aware of, but the people are really really running out of motivational factors. Morale is very very low. You removed profit sharing because of recession, that was ok. Now the recession is over, still no profit sharing. You don't deserve to boast of so much quarterly revenues and profits. If you don't care about us, we don't care about your profits.
