Pros

Just filling the space, cause there are none! Oh sorry everything can be done through an agent (IYKYK, #architect)

Cons
  • For an appraisal review, there is no set of parameters where the employee is judged. There is only one parameter, i.e., who bootlicks the manager more, or if there is a "special" interest in an employee from the manager (technically architect). The employee can be OOO for 2 months (not sabbatical, by the way) and still get the highest appraisal along with promotion and ESOPs. And employees who grind and meet every deadline and with quality output are greeted in the appraisal meeting saying not enough funds are available right now. And all these things are not generic to JUSPAY, but specific to a so-called start-up team of JUSPAY called "breeze".

  • If there is no work, the so-called lead will create work for you by abusing agents and tokens (so kind of him)—apparently 100 PRs merged in a day! Making sure his team has enough bugs to resolve for a quarter.

  • Lead making sure the principal builds 10x by adding 10x of bugs on every release.

Advice to Management

Nothing, cause you ain't changed!
