Working under the current QA Delivery Head was one of the most demoralizing professional experiences in my career. The culture is deeply rooted in favoritism, where loyalty to the individual in power outweighs actual skills, work ethic, or results.
A tight-knit inner circle receives all the support — better flexibility, visibility, and recognition — while everyone else is left to navigate unrealistic expectations, micromanagement, and constant scrutiny. If you’re not in the preferred group, you’re either invisible or treated as a threat.
Performance evaluations are more political than professional. Promotions, training opportunities, and leadership roles are handed out based on personal loyalty, not merit.
The environment is stifling, especially for those who want to grow based on skill and contribution. Morale is consistently low, and attrition speaks for itself — people leave not because of the work, but because of who they’re forced to work under.
