There’s too much unplanned work, largely because most middle managers lack the courage to say “no” — choosing instead to impress their seniors for personal growth. They end up delegating most of their responsibilities to their team members. Work-life balance is heavily impacted.
There is no clear visibility or prioritization of tasks, leading to confusion and inefficiency.
Poor micromanaging leaders push genuine employees to work harder, while favoring their close associates by assigning them easier tasks and promoting less deserving candidates.
This culture severely impacts the morale and motivation of truly hardworking employees, ultimately affecting overall performance and workplace integrity.
It is advisable to review recent promotions by anonymously cross-verifying with team members whether the promoted employees genuinely contributed to the work credited to them, or merely took credit for tasks primarily completed by other diligent engineers.
This process could reveal 30–40% of questionable promotions and identify managers exhibiting favoritism. This is a good time to perform this.
1st round: test. 2nd round: C++, Linux basics. Asked if I have any cloud or DevOps skills. A small program. 3rd round: managerial, which was again a C++ program and discussed about my projects in resume. Final round: HR round.
There were three rounds. The first was a coding assessment. If you clear it, the next two technical rounds should be 60 minutes long. They mainly focused on HTTP and networking.
The interview process typically includes multiple rounds, such as: * Resume screening * An initial HR call * Technical assessments * Coding or problem-solving tests * Final interviews focusing on technical and behavioral skills.
