1) Please don't opt for cigna projects as you have to forgot about the taking leave. (Literally have to beg) 2) Each and every year 95% of you leaves will be lapsed (Particularly, if your manager wants to butter the management) 3) No major perks 4) Even at profit, they act like the company is bankrupt 5) Tone of threatening if you raise a query

Dislikes

Job security as long as you are billable Hikes are minimal and as usual depends on the rapport with Manager Most of the project managers are micromanaging and not a good environment to learn or grow. Most of the manager are from Hyderabad and prefer Telugu speaking On-site opportunities are less and per diem are one of the lowestOnce you’re out of project you ‘ve 45 days to find another else you will be forced to resign Possibility to upskill / cross skill is very less and manager cares only about completing security training’s Managers aren’t aware of other projects in organisation and moving to different team or project is also next to impossible unless they want to...Read More

Learning and development. Moving employees to different team with zero knowledge opportunity for everyone, even if they don't deserve it. Freshers gets trained on a subject for 6 months then put into production whatever skill sets they develop in 6 months of training

Dislikes

For emerging technology like AEM blockchain generative AI this company is not recommended. 50% of employees are staying here since more than 10 years they don't value the new tech. Only thing they care about revenue. Don't want to hire new resources on emerging technology. In entire APAC region they didn't have a single aem architect. They make it hybrid because they don't have enough space to hold 50 percent of Bangalore employees....Read More

- Not good for Entry to senior leadership roles and Architects especially if you are someone passionate on latest technologies, they don't have innovation/very tiny , so almost NO scope for sandboxes. therefore don't expect use of latest technologies unless you are exceptionally placed into some special teams. - This is an organization with very low scope internal movements. - Extreme legacy, Most of the leaders are in-house grown , have been there since decades / have rejoined, i have noticed them too low on accepting new things , there were cases where staff members were referred by senior leaders and PM had to just take them. - Operating model ; Onshore so called Prime BU and Offshore model. Don't be surprised if you end up working with internal people only without facing client. - Members Surveys (MSAP) : This is just crazy they have something called member satisfaction assessment program , which is a survey by all employees against their management, which is again crazy i have noticed many mangers(including Managers, directors and above) calling their immediate associates and asking their subordinates to "rate them well" as soon as survey is launched. Not sure what is the purpose of MSAP if this is case ? - Org hierarchy : They have 2 streams of hierarchy beginning entry level to senior leadership teams. one stream is delivery another stream is experts: Delivery stream is responsible to executing delivery related activities , expert is technical , in my exp almost none of delivery stream people knows most fundas, they don't even understand the Job description. Most of the technical directors and VP's and managers " prefers to work in isolation" . The "next" level managers most of the times are only supportive to their immediate reporting manager. - This is the only company i have seen where one of the member was awarded for highest learning hours and whilst on bench and this was considered as one of the point to deploy them into a project and the person is someone who was referred by one of the VP , on the ground most of team members had concerns it seems. - No proper engagements in Centre of Excellence teams - Delivery tech staff : This is no different than most of the IT MNC's where majority of the freshers are deployed to handle projects without adequate training. For a question one of the senior manager asked the response from senior leader was "respective reporting manager should sit along with freshers on the project and train them " and that never happens. - Insurance : Not up to mark - Governance: Better systems and automation is still possible....Read More
