I don't like working in this company. I just don't have any other options left.
Dislikes
What's there not to dislike. Biggest issue is that there's no HR to raise ur concerns to. All they have is a portal and that too just for show.

It may vary project to project and management to management. My previous project experience is very bad due to the management only. My current project , client and management is quite good.
Dislikes
There is no skip level meeting happens and I found HRs are already teamed up with the management.

Good working culture among similar service based company.
CTC is straight forward almost like a product based company where fixed component is more and variable component is less
Good team and good development projects compared to support projects in other companies
Good work life balance

Hikes and promotion are not good.
Recent policy changes are not employee friendly

Here HR’s don’t even listen to our problems. When we need help from HR’s they don’t even respond to our messages or mail but when they need something from us they directly call us.
Here, TMP team will say you will get project but when our bench time ends they force us to take up service desk projects by lying you can change projectafter 6 months. They treat us like we are some garbage and they quickly want to throw us in some garbage pot. These service desk project team leads are uneducated, don’t know how hiring happens. They will very much pressure and workload....Read More

Stability is good. Though in the ongoing global recession, many of my co-workers had to leave projects because of project ramp down and did not get any other projects. Instead of recruiting employees from bench in other projects they are hiring more from people outside.
Dislikes
Appraisal is bad. So joining with low salary does not help much in the long run, better to switch.

Work depends upon what project you get.
Had a chance to work on a small project from scratch.
Dislikes
Work timings are pathetic.
You work at your regular timings and still have to login later for client calls. In my case mostly extending till midnight.
The hybrid culture here is totally unproductive.
Upper management is worse, expects you to be available anytime for calls.

Well it's a very good place to loose your mind and and peace. With the best 10 hours work culture and no benefits. And the best thing is the ratings they give depends on their personal choice and mood and the best part is once the rating is given it cannot be disputed. And unexpected promotions which will be given to others. Eg if A works hard B will get the promotion. Based on favouritism.
Dislikes
Hmmm. .... Everything. There is no help nor there is any support all are busy with their targets and targets and targets.

Not a good transport facility service. Job security is also not there. Very short term projects. In most of the projects, the case is like one person has to do job of 3 people. If there is requirement of 3 people then they will assign all those task to single person. In terms of hike, even if we work harder and show our appreciations still they will say budget issue. No proper growth here.
One common thing in all IT sector is that you will be valuable only if there is some work. If not then no one really cares. You are on your own. So be ready for anything guys.. be prepared always to crack interviews at any time....Read More

Here Manager literally owns the company, straight forward rule, you have do everything that your manager says, to manager and get progress.

Employee welfare is just a show! They do actually care for their employees. They just see them as money making machines, if they are on maternity or pregnant or going through personal issues can be easily replaceable without giving a second thought about what happens to that employee
