What made us disappointed was the on-boarding process and though we had received offer letter soon the time taken for call letter too long around 7 months gap btwn offer and call letter by that time many people had lots hope as freshers and who were really relied over this.

You'll have access for udemy and you'll get good teammates
Dislikes
There is no any Sick leave, Casual leave , if you have any urgency then your leave Will not approved, if you are getting sick like fever ,cold and other things then you have to share doctor prescription afterthat they said please do half time and also there's no any Indian holiday and no any client Holiday, if you need any planned leave then you have to inform before a month and afterthat your leave will not be approved as you want and also very less salary for graduate trainee. One very intresting thing, Graduate Trainee and Engineer Trainee doing same work but Engineer trainee is getting double salary as compare to Graduate Trainee ,About shift you need to work after your shift not any exact time your log off time will be fixed but after log off you need to work because the work will assign before a minute of log off...Read More
