Client absurdity compounded by monkey management
Client absurdity compounded by monkey management
IBM Consulting India has a systemically important client in Navi Mumbai – your work can potentially impact 50 million mobile users.
IBM's pro-employee policies.
Management tries to shield the team from the illogical thought process of the client.
Product roadmap incorporates newer technologies.
Client yells at management, who earbashes the team with: 'client putting pressure.' This leads to working extra hours at odd times.
No work from home.
Management turns a blind eye to social distancing for vendors. Three desktops are placed in the space of two cubicles, causing people to elbow their neighbors.
The codebase is out of sync across environments. Deployments mean pulling all-nighters and manually copying code to production.
There is no development environment, as the client is unwilling to spend for extra licenses.
The non-production environment is frequently inoperative due to failing core APIs managed by a third-party vendor.
Management still accuses the team for delayed deliveries.
Management is non-technical.
The project is not agile. Daily Scrums last for one hour.
Invest in paying technical debt.
Get a control over environment issues.
