Good employee policies but frequent focus shifts - Technical Lead Tally Group Employee Review

Modern Tech Stack with Multi-Cloud Exposure Tally Group offers a modern tech stack with exposure to all three major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, and Azure). The engineering and delivery teams are composed of talented, kind, and genuinely helpful individuals who do their best despite the organizational challenges.

Toxic Leadership and Operational Inefficiency The culture is increasingly toxic, driven by a senior management team that prioritizes "storytelling" over actual problem-solving. This has led to severe delivery quality issues and client dissatisfaction, with production incidents becoming a daily occurrence. Internal processes are highly impractical; management enforces meaningless metrics, such as 100% unit test coverage, while failing to manage priorities effectively. When everything is labeled "High Priority," nothing is, leading to developer burnout. Specifically, leadership relies on outdated success stories and impractical ideas that do not translate to the current product’s needs. This lack of practical direction has caused a mass exodus of talented developers and seasoned leaders, all citing the same leadership failures as their reason for leaving.

They provided fresh fruits, coffee and sometimes snacks

1- No work-life balance. Lots of them are off-shore Indians, and they work none-stop to their flesh and bones. The management always mention it to you that you should work more than offshore since you are onshore 2- No Onboarding and knowledge transfer roadmap. You will left alone from Day 1, and you have to learn everything by yourself 3- No task-assigning planning, and no capacity measurement: You receive the hardest tasks from day 1 which should be assigned to the more experienced members. Instead they receive the easiest tasks 4- Reporting problems: Unfortunately, you need to report to Scrum master, Project owner, Product Manager and your direct leader all at the same time everyday 5- If you are forced to work overtime, they don't pay you for that even if you are trying to deliver your task on-time. Overtime work gets approved only when they say it by themselves 6- Too much discrimination: Example of that is some onshore never came to office even if they have to OR the overtime of some members were counted always but some don't, 7- Tight ETAs: They gave 1 day ETA for a task that needs at least 1 week, and all throughout that day, 3 or 4 different people follow that one up with you in an inappropriate way, and in uncountable times 8- Not appreciative: no matter how much you strive and work for them, what you solve and how effective you are, they look at you down from top and act significantly impolite and creditorially 9- If they need you during the WeekEnds and you don't like to work those days, that marks as a negative behavior, even if that's not in your formal contract and it's against Fairworks rules
