- flowerlad 6y agoThis is what you said: I have been hiring IIT graduates and building a team in India for several years now. They are all really smart people with a strong work ethic, but their approach to work tends to be the same as the approach they needed to succeed in a test-based education system. ... nobody will stop to ask why things are being done a particular way, or offer up some alternative. Which is of course nonsense. The same test-based education system also produced leaders such as the CEO of Google, CEO of IBM and the CEO of Albertsons. If you have been able to hire some to close "JIRA tickets" you scraped the bottom of the barrel and maybe you shouldn't be making generalized conclusions based on your observations!
- primitivesuave 6y agoSundar Pichai got a masters from Stanford and an MBA from Wharton. I also think you are not reading the other points that JIRA is used by more than just IT, it is a project management tool used by everyone and isn't just for "bottom of the barrel" employees.
- flowerlad 6y agoJIRA is for service tickets [1]. No product development team in top FAANG companies uses JIRA. If you were able to hire IIT graduates to close service tickets (which I doubt) they are the bottom of the barrel.
