It Saturday my weekly off and I am thinking whether to continue with my newly joined job (4 days) or just resign and search for new job.
My new job at some new big CMM company, where i though it would little better than the old one in terms of work quality and money. I was given senior position.
I guess the money did satisfy but not the work quality. The work quality got worst.
The company name was good in market but not the work. The IT (dept) work has just started 1 and half years back and it was simple ecom domain with no process. (I mean nothing in place not even with single page of documentation about the work or process)
It was first time in my career in 6 yrs that i saw a test case template without no test steps column. The test steps were written under test description column and description was witten uner "Functionality to be tested".
And this was been followed for last 1 and half year and everyone working were happy with it.
There was no process and people were called on saturdays and even on sundays for work.
For each deployment the website was closed or on maintainence page. I would not believe it. (monthly release)
For new joinee, he had to go through the website/application to understand flow.
Test cases were in excel and yet no standard in writing test cases. Each person wrote the test cases as per their likings.
The funniest thing was, on my first day people suggest that I should leave the company immediately and not continue.
All the product managers and my QA manager were in US, my Team lead in mumbai (our office). So in term of senior or professional person, my team lead was the whole and sole here and that to she was not that much experienced. (But very good in handling people and politics)
And there was one senior manager (I exactly don;t know) he sitting with us i n one cabin, they said he was dev team sr. manager. A bit strange... the team lacked professional guidance.
The product guys from US would dominate these people and people here would listen to them without ever questioning back...
But yes the pay is good and as long as I am busy... it should work... :)
Note: The job market at this time is very very bad, I just had this offer in hand.
