Used to have great engineering and work culture, but not anymore.

Indian middle management is full of politicians; they are spoiling the essence of a tech company.

There is zero product focus, coding standards are depleting every day, and non-tech management promotes people who write crappy code and do the flattery.

Very few teams are working on technically valued work. Most of the serious work is being done by US teams, and India is becoming a back office. There is no innovation happening in India because of the talent being hired here.

Too much politics for anyone who wants to focus on work. If you want to be promoted, you need to have good connections with the politicians.

The US leadership should force the hiring of technical middle management.

Expedia is still looked upon as a good brand in NCR, and people are willing to work for the company. However, the image is being spoilt by useless middle management and the people they hire.

There is no need for mindless expansion in India; getting the right people is more important, otherwise, you will be paying people in India for doing basically nothing.

There is a lot of technical talent here, but you need to mirror your US culture here in India to get them to work for the company.
