What seemed like the most promising opportunity of all times in my career, turned out to be the biggest nightmare, wherein
a) You cannot give better ways of solving the same problem. If you do, they will force you to shut your mind and follow whatever is being followed
b) Instead of understanding and addressing the employees problems, the only thing senior leadership treats them just as resources, and involves the HR and CTO in every small matter
I joined the company 2 months back with very high aspirations. The way the company has been from day 1 is extremely unprofessional and questionable.
1. A team of PHDs just follows their way of working without even paying heed to any different way of solving problems. If you can come up with a different way of solving the same problem, instead of telling you why is that approach right or wrong, they will simply say that you need to follow existing, even to a person with 10 years of experience. If you further question, they will simply escalate it to the CTO, suggesting you are not working.
2. The worst part is the senior leadership. Their IT team deleted my code folder mistakenly (which they admitted later) two days before the submission deadline. When asked for a reason, I was again forced to redo the same effort in two days. When I enquired about the missing codes and work, the matter was again escalated to the HR and CTO, and I was asked to deliver by the same deadline. I struggled two days and delivered the work way before deadline, which was reviewed and deemed okay.
But, then, 2 days later, out of nowhere, I received a call from HR, that they cannot continue working with me. When asked for a reason they had nothing significant.
All this happened just over a period of 2 months
