Exactly, my two peeves having worked with companies like Tata and InfoSys were:
1. Saying yes to everything. Questions, estimates, analysis: everything was answered in the positive even when the facts were negative. I makes project control very hard.
2. Deferring to management every 10 minutes. On every call, meeting etc. Engineers were very much not able to make decisions by themselves.
Having said that, all men and women I worked with from these companies we're really friendly and certainly tried their best.
- trolliloquy 9y agoIssues with offshoring giants like Tata & Infosys is - Engineers are often discouraged to exhibit autonomy & make decisions on their own. It's rather an untold rule across the industry to channel all decisions & difficulties via their manager. I'll give an example - We once asked our offshore-engineer (contractor) to share their personal email ID for a github invite for we knew that he had one readily at his disposal. Using gmail for work is a big deal for IT offshoring companies. The guy, instead of sharing his concerns about his directives & security guidelines directly with us, called his manager who replied to our email asking us to stick to Enterprise email IDs.
