Outsourcing - part of the solution or part of the problem? - Senior Consultant bei HSBC: Mitarbeiterbewertung

For a seasonal senior software engineer it's frustrating to see how relatively simple projects take forever to implement. New technologies are not welcomed and outsourcing has been a big issue affecting quality of the products, time to market and knowledge base inside of the company. Usage of homegrown frameworks instead of industry widely adopted ones makes it very difficult to use local work force because of the long learning curve locking the company even further into using outsourcing services. Another serious issue is that managers are switched around every year and it discourages some of them from trying to solve difficult issues.
