Work culture at Deloitte?
I heard that the work culture at Deloitte is bad that people work for 15 hours a day? What's happening at Deloitte?
Yesterday I started work around 11.30 and spent about 2-3 hours in the morning & afternoon doing code reviews , tech discussions, meetings etc. and then spent most of the day chilling with my parents. (WFH)
I felt a bit guilty about working so less (and there was some work to do) so I put in a 3 hour focused time to write some code/implement some requirements.
Total of about 5-6 hours of actual time spent actually working. This has been about the average for me for a year now; this is how a typical work day usually looks like. At home I usually spend maybe 6-8 hours in front of the laptop at my desk out of which 5-6 hours would be actual time spent working. (It’s a LOT less at office, that’s a different story altogether)
Is this too less or is this the norm for software engineers today? What does the number look like for you, how many hours do you spend in front of your laptop & how many hours do you actually work every day?
Time spent in meetings is work Time spent preparing for meetings is work Time spent cooling down after meetings is work
Time spent thinking about work is also work
Well said
Measuring how many hours you work is like measuring how many lines of code you're committing. Focus on how much work you are getting done in a day. If A takes 4-5 hours to finish their work in a day & B takes 10-11, would you say that B is more productive than A? A shouldn't feel guilty because of B & B shouldn't think that A is 'slacking at work'.
Agreed; and in terms out output & productivity I am doing reasonably well compared to expectations & peers - however I know for a fact that I am putting in a lot less hours then I can, less hours compared to what I was putting in earlier on in my career - hence, I wanted to know what kind of experience others are having
@TechBro I'm not aware of your seniority and role at Uber, so my advice may be useless, but I would suggest learning something new or upskill in the extra free time you have. This might help you take more difficult tasks in the future & complete them faster.
Isn't uber famous for their insane work hours! Team to team variation of work is a real shit
Was*
Was famous for that cause it was true
Not anymore, not since last few years; Uber has been trying to mature as a company since Dara became CEO & IPO happened; since 2019 it’s been a good company to work in for a long time.
(Recently though there’s some issues that’s cropped up; but nothing to do with bad WLB )
Good to hear that!
10-11 hours on the regular, ignoring breaks in the middle
Chose this life, will leave it once I’ve learnt enough
During relax days - Max 2 hours During release time - 8 to 10 hours

Context: I work at a startup, it's a pretty chill work environment, very flexible, hybrid model. Everything is great.
Problem: They take flexible work hours too seriously, I have meetings at 10 PM on weekdays and almost every weekend th...
I will go first I have 5 YoE . I have not written new code since many weeks. Usually i have been working on fixing issues. This is the reason i want to know how much time people spend on writing new code .

I've had the fortune of having worked in 3 countries so far. India is by far the most exciting place to be in 2024. But there's something about our work ethic that just concerns me. In both white and blue collar.

We don't end up staying long hours because we need to. But because we have to, so that the manager doesn't feel like ...
