You make a lot of sweeping disdainful generalization and I don't have time to correct all of them. However, I can speak about DRDO-- I began my s/w career as a student intern in DRDO -- I worked in a lab that was developing Nag anti tank missiles. This was a hard and complex undertaking and we had very few resources. TCS etc have better computers than DRDO . And yet the people I worked were dedicated professionals and believed in their mission . And the Nag anti-tank missile is success.
I don't think I will change your opinion ; I just want to point out to anyone who might take you seriously that you are full of shit.
- option_greek 10y agoWeirdly, I had an opposite experience as an intern in DRDO. I found the employees wasting enormous amount of time on tea/lunch breaks and waiting at the swipe gate 15 min in advance in the evenings to bug out. The low level cadre are the worst in this. Scientists (regardless of their level) seem to be passionate about their work but the support personnel assigned to them hinder a lot. A lot of manufacturing (and design) seem to be outsourced to third parties and the highest cadre is busy minting money from these contracts. I felt sad about state of things during my internship - considering that it was known to be in great condition when APJ was around.
- manishsharan 10y agoThat is true -- the admin folks were awful. But the geeks , scientists and engineers , were dedicated and professional. Of course I was there in '89-90-91. That may be a different era but the Nag missile is still performing. I wrote some doppler effect processing libraries in assembly; my supervisor to knew how to squeeze the maximum performance out of assembly code. It was a fun and educational experience.
