Cons: My 1.5-year tenure with the OVN team was the most detrimental experience of my career. Talented, sincere, and honest individuals are consistently undervalued and stifled within this environment. The management team exhibits a level of incompetence that surpasses any I have encountered. Their performance falls far short of even basic scrum master standards. The US-based senior management demonstrates a profound lack of awareness regarding the team's culture and dynamics. They exhibit no interest in understanding the ground reality or challenging the prevailing status quo. A highly problematic structure exists where individuals at the same individual contributor (IC) career grade report to managers at the same career grade. This fosters a hostile environment where managers routinely claim the contributions of their team members as their own. One manager explicitly stated regarding a team member's initiative, 'Politics are at play; do not pursue this initiative. Even if you do, you will receive no credit or recognition.' Furthermore, promotions are often based on headcount rather than merit, and accountability is entirely absent. Decision-making is driven by instinct rather than data-backed analysis and structured problem-solving. Despite over five years of development, the OVN product remains a sub-optimal solution. Leadership frequently discusses productivity, but code quality is neglected. There are no structured retrospectives on defects or comprehensive future roadmaps.
