The learning opportunities are great here, you get to work on latest technologies.
Dislikes
The hikes and appraisal system here is not dependent on your performance but completely on how your relation is with your manager and director, how likely you are to leave the company. The only way to get decent hike is to resign.
Employer’s Response

We take your concerns about appraisals and hikes seriously. Our goal is to ensure that rewards and recognitions are fair and performance-driven. We continuously review and improve our processes to make them more transparent and equitable.

No standardisation in salary
For promotion there is no impact on salary levels
Good work-life balance, though 9 hours swapin swapout policy.
Dislikes
Technologies you end up working does not match the skills, project change almost impossible, limited growth.
Company policies very unethical. Company blocks the half salary in notice period for recoveries, that too first month(of 2 months notice period), which is inconvenient. They will give you performance bonus, but will sign the bond for 3 years, in case you leave company , you have to pay back this performance bonus, that too when your salary is held back.HR are very inactive, hardly will you get response on time, even mails are not replied back.
Here there are many untold rules, like you have to work on multiple projects, once you have some experience, you should be working with any technology, promotions/awards or any concerns given attention only if you decide to leave company....Read More

This company should be called CalSlave and not Calsoft. I feel this is my stupidest mistake to join here. No pros.
Dislikes
The manager and HR here hold all power over you. Trust me they do not care how much you work or much the client appreciates your work. The only thing they care about is whether you are obedient as a slave. They will move your lunch times, they will move their meetings to day/night whenever they feel like. If you do not obey something, you'll be threatened everytime for you salary. For everything there is an LOP warning. Client is a God to them and they will let you die before they "disappoint" their client.
Projects are rubbish. They will move you from 1 project to another like a chess piece. The "middle men" here hold personal grudges over on you for nothing. DO NOT JOIN this place if you want mental stability....Read More

- pure networking projects
Dislikes
- bad infrastructure (no proper working desk, no proper canteen, canteen seating arrangement is too poor, no recreational area)
- below average medical coverage.
- project changes frequently.
- you'll get projects based on their choice not based on your skills.

- Job stability is not there....Read More

It's a pathetic company. When there is no problem, HRBP will ask continuously "if you have any problem PLEASE do tell, I'll always be there to help". If you have some serious problems and share it with them they'll just even refuse to hear it and say "you are the wrong person".
Nobody wants any honesty here , HRBP, Lead, Manager.
And Managers and leads always compare everyone with everyone and to the core are very incompetent and pathetic.
In my life(let alone work) I've never seen such selfish, cunning lead that i worked with.
I had give my blood, sweat and tears.
Literally work 13-14 hours/day, trianed and took care of my juniors. At the end it was all waste....Read More

Few HR not know what is the mean of HR and they simply deducting leaves when you are submitting medical reports and those days worked from home. Those medical case is serious like serious accident. Actually not all HR but some are doesn't care about the physical and mental health of employees. And taking about few manager, they onlydesignated as manager but actually they don't managed it properly. They are not interacting their team members who are not from Pune. Simply giving promotion and good feedback to Pune's employees and for rest it is nothing....Read More
