Good compensation and tech, but poor management
Software Engineer-III • Current Employee
Hyderābād
October 29, 2026
Pros: The compensation is pretty good, and the quality of the tech stack is really good. If you are in the right team, you can actually enjoy your work.
Cons: Worst possible management.
US managers are just puppets of the senior management and have no clue of how to be a manager. Indian teams get assigned with bread crumbs of the real work. There are unrealistic and vague expectations without any support from the team. Managers literally don't care about their Indian counterparts. There is no respect for the time zone difference either. Work can go up to 4 am IST, and still you might hear that you are not doing enough.
