Overworked, Undervalued, and Constantly Blamed – Poor Management Practices
Pros
Salary credited on time. A few good teammates who genuinely try to help each other.
Cons
Unpaid Overtime: Though duty hours are shown as 9.30 hrs/day, you end up working 11–12 hrs daily, unpaid and unappreciated. Fake Holiday Excuses: Every Friday or Saturday, seniors say: "Tomorrow is a holiday, stretch today." — but that day off never actually happens. False Deadlines: Client emails clearly mention deadlines 3 days later, but seniors force same-day submissions, rushing the work and increasing stress. Missing Project Files: You're often expected to deliver complete work even when architectural drawings or details are missing. Unequal Workload: Mechanical engineers go home on time, while electrical engineers stay late — sometimes until 1–2 AM — just to clean up mistakes made by others. Poor Leadership & Planning: Senior staff arrive between 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM, without accountability. They ignore emails, don’t check client updates, and push multiple last-minute submissions in a single evening. Project priority changes randomly, based on no logic or planning. Blame Game Culture: If something goes wrong — even if caused by the senior’s bad instructions — they blame juniors, saying "You updated it wrong" instead of owning their own mistakes. Wrong Guidance: Seniors give incorrect directions, leading to client complaints, then shift the blame back onto you. Toxic Power Trip: The senior behaves like “I am the law”, acting above rules, ignoring process, and forcing the team to work blindly — no clarity, no fairness.
