Pros

Do not see any good from a future perspective.

Cons

Legacy codebase, which is about to get refactored in the US.

Very unique domain with strong hardware dependency.

Strong dependency with an engineering tool; any new configuration breaks the legacy code. As the product is in the market, we need to patch work.

Fire FHP: PMI App. This team needs clerks, not developers.

As per the current lead, who has been working with the team for around 8+ years, "Code is the best documentation." When asked a query about the code, he answered that he even doesn't know about it.

The current team lead is working on another project and just raises their hand when it comes to the PMI app team.

The current team lead works from home and joins the office at 2 PM IST.

Agile planning is done for 3 months. I don't know why?

Advice to Management

Start listening to the developers.

Be clear when interviewing the candidate about what project they will be working on.
