Flexible timings - overall company polices are very flexible but it all comes to the kind of manager that you have and NOT dependent on feasibility of managing work. The favorites of manager come at 12 or 2 pm in the afternoon and leave at will.
No matter CEO has a great vision except for some good in senior mgmt rest everyone is just enjoying time in office. The current state of nagarro senior employees is a mix of highly skilled people (meritorious) and others who were just promoted because of connections/contacts (employees have taken good advantage of CEO since he promotes communication).
heard someone saying in the office 'directors in nagarro are more in number than developers'. found at a stone's s throw. hardly few deserving others mere coordinators of talent pool. they are like resource managers. never get into real work. resource managers are much better.
Scrum meetings daily only for normal sincere resources. the favorite of the boss gets an easy escape. no questions asked. Morn meetings set the work plan for the day and are good but when the favorite is never questioned for not attending, you feel its wrong. if a normal resource goes for meetings, do tell your manager that you are going to a meeting room else you are accused of 'Not- being available'. Your messenger and phone might be working. no difference. The favorite may go anywhere anytime. Boss says ‘he must be busy’.
senior mgmt rolled out JIRA time tracking. no basis. do not know about others but directors dont fill. recently, they must have received communication that they also must start entering their time. our manager was tensed and said i will also need to enter my effort in some of your tasks. but that is acceptable.
if your work is getting appreciated, boss will not let you work. how?
- morning meeting about day tasks (2)
- afternoon meeting to discuss again (no contribution from boss in that meeting abspolutely none) – you waste your time.
- evening again discuss (same tasks, same status, same work - no additional directions or value add) – you waste your time again.
- night concall with the real decision makers (internal only, not clients) – time well spent, good feedback, you know what needs to be refined. But you need to invest your night to think and work on it because yoru boss will not let you work. Show me. Show me. Once shown, zero inputs. The same morning noon night recording plays over and over again. Boss needs to show on concall that you did not do it at all without boss supervision. Concall dedcision makers frustrated with boss participation. Cant say anything.
end of day - add time to JIRA. not an issue at all. Much required for analysis too.
total work of the day is only what you did title of work repeat repeat repeat. the boss woruld not allow you to work. you are not allowed to think. no elbow space. When you ask for better work, boss advises to switch company because boss is insecure of your caliber. No one to escalate. HR believes in words from big titles only.
