dalacv··on Infosys CEO Vishal Sikka Resigns
I worked for TCS for about 3 months. This was not my only job prospect but I didn't know any better. I negotiated a pretty good salary and it was remote work with no travel. I thought it was going to be a dream job. Then, I started to realize how inefficient certain parts of the company was. It took about 1 month for them to provision a laptop. They screwed up my payroll setup and I couldn't get them to fix it. I had several other issues that just took forever to resolve. Once I did finally get a laptop and got to work, I realized that none of my team had the skills that they should have had to be on the project that we were on and that I been brought in to train them all (Unbeknownst to me). I left after a few months. My manager was shocked that they I was trying to leave and he tried to pressure me into staying. I did not stay. I might have just hit a streak of bad luck, but I will never go back to a large "IT body shop" again.

Avoid generic drugs if you can. I've got lots of first-hand experience in this matter. It's not a matter of efficacy. It's a matter of quality. That's all I will say.

dalacv··on Ask HN: What problem in your industry is a potential startup?
See my response here

https://gist.githubusercontent.com/anonymous/cba53d636ac477d...

I should add reasons there is a need for change:

Vendors in the current space are "behind" in terms of technological offering. The APIs provided by vendors are often cludgy to non-existent. The UI for these applications are non-intuitive and usually an afterthought.

The top-tier vendors in this space regularly charge upwards of $5000 or more for a concurrent license

Vendors and their partners regularly charge somewhere between $1400 - $1800 per day for consulting services

Projects for LIMS implementation typically last over 6 months and many last over 1 or 2 years.

Maintenance costs typically are in the %18-20% range.

While those numbers may be typical for enterprise software, the value doesn't warrant it. Product quality is usually poor due to poor product testing. Many of the top-tier vendors have highly-complex solutions that are the result of piling new technology on top of old-messy data models year after year. A new, serious player in this space would have the advantage of starting "from scratch".

There are many benefits and reason as to why we should be seeing innovation, but we just aren't seeing it.
