IT in turmoil since leadership change

Pros

Work from home a few days a week. Decent benefits. Very talented team of direct colleagues.

Cons

Upper IT management is chaotic. They do not seem to be able to plan something more than one week in advance. They want to micro-manage everything, but do not actually do it, thus slowing progress down.. They tend to give very complex tasks on short notice with practically impossible deadlines. Fly by the seat of our pants seems to be the order of the day.

Pros

Great people, great vertical, great location, above-average remuneration, great learning opportunities, great opportunities to engage with clients, patient client base, clients are mostly joint-stakeholders with the company on product development.

Cons

* Constantly changing technology policies- flex, zk, java, jquery... * Strategy seems confused and trying to do it 'all-at-once' - cloud, mobile, accessibility... * Revolving-door higher management - top management seldom stays around long enough to implement their strategy or technology vision, probably the reason for the above-mentioned cons. * Clueless HR - seems to exist just to do whatever middle management wants, irrespective of whether it helps employees or not. Management more focused on generating buzz as a means for career advancement rather than work on meaningful employee-friendly policies. * The air around the Bangalore office is more like a vendor company for the US office rather than an equal development office. Primarily because of the attitudes of Bangalore management who have never worked elsewhere and cut their teeth under such an outdated 'outsourced' IT climate. * Middle and senior management at the Bangalore office have been around forever and have no clue how a modern IT company works. Power structures are well entrenched and jealously guarded.
