Work-from-home option can't compensate for poor management

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing good, except pay. Also they are allowing work from home

Cons

I took wrong decision in my carreer. I have joined here for 3 months.when managerial round happened at that time manager told you will be allocated to project once you join here but still now no project allocation happened. They are giving fake promises. Also, project interview was very difficult. Also they expect to all the skills in jd to match for the particular role. If we said skill match, asked to upskill and attend interview but during interview they are asking so you have real time experience. Planning to resign. Also resource manager very rude. He is talking epam standard high. Your previous companies not standard then why they are hiring fromnot standard company i don't know.
