MAQ Software Associate Project Manager reviews

1. Insecure environment. The senior managers and leads themselves are so insecure that they resist any new talent coming in (they take them as threat) and don't let the new people settle down. Most of the tenured people think of their own survive-ability. As they feel insecure, they create an environment of insecurity around them. The statements such as 'I WILL FIRE YOU' are used frequently. 2. Top man wants to hire talent from top institutes but the older lot resist it (though they don't say it in front of the top man). Every year people are hired from top institutes, however, the attrition from this pool is more than 90 %. Within a year more than 50 % leave and in next one year balance leave. As an example, over years, in the name of managers from top institutes, hardly 2 or 3 are remaining, though the company has been hiring in bulk from ISB, IIMs. 3. Rude people. It trickle down from top to bottom. Entrepreneur himself being rude is still tolerable as there is a success story behind it (though that is also wrong as many successful people are humble). But surprisingly, other people, especially who stick around for some years also get skinned in rude behavior. They think that sticking around in this company is such a great achievement that they have right to be rude. In a way, being rude to each other is an unspoken mandatory requirement to work here. 4. Salary structure is deceiving. It’s done deliberately. Indian engineers are desperate to take jobs, so it works for the company. 5. Due to above the average experience in the company is less than 2 years. Because of the nature of the work, high expertise is not required so it works for the company. They actually want high attrition so that they don’t have to manage careers of the employees.

- Management treats employees like machines. Need to sell your soul for salary - Absolutely no respect or empathy even on top performers - Negative work culture where people around you hate the management (Managers hate the CEO. CEO hates everyone in the world except him) - Learning (and technologies involved) are pathetic compared to product based companies
