Svantaggi
I recently became a victim of cost-cutting measures at my company, and I want to share my experience to shed light on the situation. Here’s what happens: they engage in mass hiring for short-term projects and then resort to mass layoffs when those projects are completed. Once the work is done, they struggle to redeploy the additional staff to other teams, labeling them as "excess baggage" and laying them off under the guise of cost-cutting. They make questionable hiring decisions, such as recruiting far more people than needed for certain roles. For example, why would one product require eight Product Managers or nine DevOps engineers, especially when it doesn’t have significant traffic? Many of these extra hires were brought in for tasks like Azure migration and other stuffs, but once those tasks were completed, the company couldn’t accommodate them elsewhere, leading to layoffs. To make matters worse, I wasn’t paid any severance. I was asked to leave within a month without any support or assistance. This has deeply impacted my personal life as well—I had my wedding planned in three months, but the bride’s family called it off after this ordeal. This company has not only cost me my job but also disrupted my life in unimaginable ways. The layoffs are conducted very discreetly, with minimal communication or transparency. Leadership is disorganized and lacks technical expertise. The senior architect relies heavily on tools like ChatGPT for guidance, and the so-called directors seem equally incompetent. This company used to be exceptional when it was smaller, with around 50 employees. However, the greed of the India center head, who seems more interested in boosting his résumé, coupled with poor advice from senior architects and HR, has driven this once-great organization into the ground. If you are considering an offer from this company, treat it as nothing more than short-term employment.
