Reviews about "poor management"
Return to all Reviews- 1.0Aug 31, 2016Service Delivery ManagerFormer Employee, more than 5 yearsHyderābād
Pros
One can master ways to deliver a crappy product. If they can successfully do this, then they can do anything in this world.
Cons
CEO and his sales team are working very diligently to sell the company; In all probability things will wind up by December or early Jan 2017) Management has no vision nor strategy. There were good at blindly following orders from old CTO, but now they are trying to order stuffs (L1's, imaginary hikes and fancy biscuits). Biggest advice: Just stop working in this disgraceful company or please don't join at all in the first place.

- 1.0Jul 7, 2016Senior Software EngineerFormer Employee, more than 3 yearsHyderābād
Pros
Nothing is good. They can hire and fire you any time. Good thing is CTO & founder is out (he has no idea as to what he is doing technically). Best CEO, good background, He built very good marketing team, but unfortunately product failed technically because of former CTO mistakes (tried all technologies without knowledge & with out changing old code), Bad technical design. Good place to learn politics.
Cons
Worst product management team ever seen, they dont know about product. they dont know what they are doing. Worst Development Management poor in technical simply people management and politics. Worst dev managers & leads they dont know about technology but they are technical leaders. (e.g .Net guy leading java developers, sql leader for java developers, Weblogic administrator lead java guys) Worst testing ever seen, always try to create more politics. Lot of technical never share the information for newly joined persons especially who are staying more than 7,8, 10 years. All technical guys already left the company because of old employes, they will not share any information and management also encourage those people and retain if they are resign, management not encourage who working professionally. CTO & founder is out is good thing, but still we have other who are staying 7,8, 10 years with out technical knowledge they dont know latest technologies.
