One of the strange aspects of working in the indian internet sector is how account managers at a particular internet company were always busy in a meeting and unable to answer the queries of their customers directly.
This again highlights how meetings have become an important aspect of working in large companies, and many hours are wasted in planning, organizing and attending meetings. Alternately some senior officials may be speaking on behalf of the account managers.
While there are some advantages of having a meeting, often there are too many disadvantages of having meeting, especially if it is not well organized as the time of a large number of people is getting wasted.
