Dysfunctional workplace with poor management and questionable practices - Software Engineer Tech Mahindra Employee Review

- Chronic understaffing leads to excessive workloads and disregard for official work hours. Management is aware but refuses to address the issue. - Lack of diversity and inclusion; the culture is dominated by one racial group, affecting communication and collaboration. - Toxic communication dynamics: Employees often over-promise to clients and management but fail to deliver, pushing the blame to others. Juniors are treated significantly worse than superiors or clients. - Disorganized and chaotic: Instructions are often unclear, protocols are outdated, and communication is poor. Some colleagues offer help on the surface but are unresponsive when approached. - Manipulative task delegation: Tasks are sometimes passed off at the last minute with misleading assurances of support. Responsibility is shifted unfairly when things go wrong. - Dismissive culture: Genuine requests for help or clarification are brushed off or met with non-answers, making it hard to get work done efficiently. - Questionable resignation handling: Attempts were made to extend notice periods beyond what’s legally required. Resigning employees may be pressured to reconsider through repeated and inconsistent communication. Clients were not properly informed of team changes.
