Open Access Technology International Software Developer reviews

If you’re looking for a job, no matter the position, cross OATI off your list and keep looking. It's one of those companies that allow you to associate with Dilbert comics. Bad management, low pay, no direction, no freedom, incompetent or lazy people tend to stick around forever and smart people tend to quit. This was the most stressful least rewarding job I have ever had. This company does not respect their employees. They will pay you as little as possible. The on-call rotation is horrible. The hours are horrible, and there is no flexibility. You can honestly work 80 hours a week, but show up 1 minute late or overshoot lunch by 1 minute or leave 1 minute early or leave the building more than 3 times, or take a break of more than 15 minutes, and your on the list. And after 5 or so "offenses" per month you get an angry sounding email (automated) mentioning that not showing up on time is reason for termination. Idle threats, but that's how their HR department works.. Slow, inefficient, and quick to threaten. The direction of the company is cause for concern. Multiple custom frameworks (old frameworks will stay around forever) and they are putting a lot of effort towards Silverlight, which seems to be going the way of the dodo. The majority of the developers are just trying their best to keep the software running. Management is either handcuffed or incompetent. The CEO is locked back in his office and inaccessible to the pawns, or employees, as most companies would call them.

#First you are made to work with obsolete company proprietery scripting laguage known as webplus. #Technical jargon from Energy/power industry that only they know about is thrown at you and you are expected to nod your head. No training on business logic, concepts provided. #The most cheap software development tool like notepad++ are provided for development since its basically scripting that you need to do. # Debugging methodologies are obsolete.No automation tools used for testing debugging or development because they cost money. # No scope for learning a new skills or technology.So basically you are screwed. #Limited/No internet access to read any good technical articles. # Employee development is nil. # No appreciation of hard work. #Emphasis on coming to work at 8:00 AM "SHARP" and leave after 5 only with a exact 1 hour lunch break. #Managers keep an eye on you even if you go to pee or drink water. #More Managers than developers with poor management,product or technical knowledge. #Less pay.Not very attractive perks or bonuses. #You have to beg in front of the Management if you want your manager to give you a good appraisal and make him count your contributions. #Software Developers are expected to play the role of developers , technical support , Business Analyst , DBAs and testers. #No QA team for testing any code changes. #Improper implementation of SDLC ,mismanaged software development environment. #IRONY OF WORKING HERE : You will be yelled at if you come even a minute late after 8 but if you stay late after 5 for work no one will appreciate you. # On top of all the crap expectations from management is to work over weekends. Developers are also expected to go on customer support for full weeks including weekends without any overtime or time compensation. # They keep a close vigil on you if you are on phone for too long.Probably think you are looking for a new job . #No consideration if you want more than 10 days off in case you are travelling abroad or watever reasons. #IN A NUT SHELL : Please dont waste your precious time here.Work at a place where you will be recognised for your hardwork not your timings.
