In Pune our project manager made unrealistic tasks with unacceptable deadlines knowing there are not enough skills in the team and no good development tools and infrastructure. The milestones are not getting achieved and the technical people are being blamed and being asked to work extra hours. Atleast offer a good infrastructure to work.

The garbage turned out by this dev team is unbelievable. Avaya should shut down the whole facility and outsource everything to Vietnam. In my tenure with Avaya and Nortel I have never seen such poor rubbish as the code turned out by this Dev Center. Your executives aren't the problem, it all you poor coders there in Pune. Thank God for the Galway Centre otherwise we would be in world of pain in regards to quality. Pune is truly the worst
The obese yanks don't want to work anymore expect third world countries to do it for them... See the light folks
The fact is Pune managers , senior managers or directors are not empowered adequately to drive decisions or take part in decision making .Hence the insecurity feeling . The chaos and yes attitude could be seen as survival tactics and outcome of that insecurity feeling. Unfortunately the fact is that the engineers can easily outperform them as there is nothing managerial in the true sense. Hence they tend to showcase all zero value projects, work in silos and project false sense of importance about themselves, take credit from others work etc. These traits are driven from top down and that is the sad fact.
Indians are subservient cultures for a long time under British Colony rules. They are used to saying "Yes" to the boss but not the Indian bosses. They are a jealous bunch once one of them becomes bosses. Watch for the backstabbing. Never trust an Indian!
Pune Mangers are following a divde and rule policy. Like British did in India. It is not good for company. Company may loose good technical folks.
