There is very less chance of learning as most of the senior employees don’t come to office for several months giving fake excuses so this hinders learning of new joiners.

Worse in one word! The company doesn't hire directly. It takes you in bonds through agencies which play you miserable salaries abd expect you to work for 8-9 hrs. Senior engineers keep on loading you with more work which feels like exploitation. Doesn't even support your infrastructure for work from home like other companies. You have to address your technical issues on your own. No company laptop is provided....Read More

Exposure to global teams. You get opportunity to work with multiple product groups across the globe provided there is enough opportunity and requirements.

Salary - Good
Skill development - Good
Company culture - Good
Work-life balance - Good

Dislikes

Being a part of India Tech Center, you do not get any hands on experience which limits your knowledge build up only through call and discussions with your counter parts across the globe. The learning curve is pretty slow and there is no really good development program for young, fresh hires.

Work Details

It's much more cyclic than you expect. It's awesome sometimes and then it's way boring the other days.
