I'm from BITS Pilani (yeah, yeah, the BITS and IIT rivalry, yada yada) and we tactically try to keep these companies off the placement process as well.
I'm just glad that there's someone who does see the difference and is willing to talk about it.
- kamaal 15y agoWhich all companies will you try to keep out? Nearly every big company is plagued by these problems. The problem is even if they take you through tough algo and DS quizzes(Which are irrelevant anyways) most of the work is maintenance. Whether you do that work in a product company or a outsourced firm. It makes little difference. This is more of a large company problem, this is not a problem restricted only to outsourcing firms.
- ashishgandhi 15y agoWhere I work now, I do a lot of engineering. By that I would mean designing non-trivial stuff and using technology best suited for the job. (E.g. for async stuff we are using node.js.) Whereas what I would do at these "outsourcing" companies is be forced to work on the MS stack and do basic store in DB, retrive from DB and update the DB stuff. CRUD with no real optimization. The only "optimization" these places offer are not writing bad SQL.
