Pros
Work-Life Balance - you can take off whenever you want. You can come at 11 am and leave 3.00 PM and no one will say anything. You can decide to WFH, log in and not do any work, but it will be considered as a day of work. That is the best part of it!! If you have joined, then find another job. If you are yet to join, then DON'T.
Cons
- Low salaries with unreal expectations - we get paid peanuts but are expected to not only perform you regular work but also do community related work. - If you do all of this, it will not affect your review/appraisal. The appraisal process is not transparent, and every one gets the same hike irrespective of the work that you do. So it is useless to do any community work. The management is stupid enough to think that employees don't discuss their appraisals. - It is a company that claims to be transparent but it definitely is not. Right from the selection process for Global Assignments to how they come up with hikes for each person, is not transparent. - The so called Management Team is a bunch of idiots. People get into the management team due to certain reservations and not because they can handle the role or they are fit for it. - They claim to be a flat organization, however there are invisible levels of hierarchy. - Hypocrisy is at its best when people sit in 5 star hotels and talk about the under previliged. - It might have been a great company at some point of time, but I don't see the difference between it and any other services company. - If you suck up to the right people, it doesn't matter if you do your regular work or not. You will get Global Assignments and grade changes and 'awesome' hikes. - The OP at Bangalore is extremely diplomatic and spineless. They tell you what you want to hear, whether it is true or not. - When I was joining, I was asked to join quickly as I there are new projects coming in and I will get to work on a green-field project. One year is over and I am working on a project that has been around for about 3-4 years. - There are very few projects and from what I can see, there is no new work that is going to come next year. - The top management is disconnected from the people. They get their reports from middle management who always tell them that things are fine. - People = resources. We used to be considered "people" earlier, but now it is just like any other services based company. - I have heard about topics that are discussed in the P3 round and that people are rejected based on their opinions on a certain topic. Is this legal? Can someone be denied employment due to their opinions? - You can get through the P3 round if you are pro-poor and a socialist. It is easy!
