Advice to Senior Management

Replace management who sits in the same projects for long time and clearly they lack skills

Pros

They hire a lot college grads quickly and for a decent salary. Good to be trained with 40+ like -minded young professionals.

Cons

You get an unnecessary amount of free time after training. There is no oversight whatsoever on for new hires post -training.

Advice to Senior Management

Need more oversight on new hires - more focused training, more hands-on work, more practice with real world client interactions.

Pros

* You will never run out of work opportunities provided you are willing to relocate.
* Working onsite you will become essential.
* Wide variety of assignments.

Cons

* You will have at least three bosses to report to: the one onsite running the project, his counterpart in India, and your horizontal (aka Practice) boss also in India. Horizontal and Vertical organizations don't always see eye-to-eye -they very frequently block one another.
* You will not be appreciated as a person. You will be seen as an easily interchangeable piece of machinery. People in your team are seen the same way -easily hired, easily fired, easily displaced without a second thought.
* Your performance appraisal will have nothing to do with your actual work. Your performance appraisal goals will be completely outside the realm of reality. This enables your boss to give you a good rating if he likes you, or justify a bad rating if he doesn't. It all comes down to being on the good side of your horizontal boss. You can manufacture an utter disaster in any project but if your Horizontal likes you, you will simply be reassigned to a different project. At the same time, you can be the star of your project and create miracles, but if your Horizontal doesn't like you, your next project will be a virtual demotion.
* Offshore usually delivers very poor quality work. Most of the times there is no attention to detail: things are done to barely meet the requirements as opposed to deliver a solid product. This will require endless rework, which ends up being more expensive than simply hiring developers onsite.
* You will be subjected to immense pressure to keep the onshore client happy. Wipro lives in 24/7 fear of making its clients unhappy.

Advice to Senior Management

Focus on quality rather than quantity. Set the example by fixing the most horrendous intranet I've ever seen, and demand quality in everything: from communications being free of typos to deliverables being simply well-done rather than simply on-time.

Stop relying on raw force offshore. Working the developers offshore to death through endless overtime and weekends does not actually fix the fundamental problems of a product that has been poorly designed/understood. "More developers hours" isn't always the solution.

The strife between Horizontal and Vertical hurts all. Eliminate the Horizontals -they wield too much power while at the same time having zero accountability to the work being delivered onsite.

The appraisal system is completely meaningless: the goals have no relation whatsoever to the work being done by each individual. It's a pointless ritual.

Stop relying on mass communication. Nobody reads the barrage of emails every morning. The only communication anyone listens to is individualized, one-on-one.

Pros

Job security, no layoffs, etct, etc

Cons

low salary, bad work culture

Advice to Senior Management

improve work culture
