"It's disheartening that only favorite employees receive appraisals, regardless of their performance, while others are undervalued. We are often told that we lack skills, only to be assigned extra tasks and subjected to additional few days sessions, seemingly just to prove that we are incompetent."

This organisation is one of the best organisations for anyone having below 4 years of work experience. (Nobody has paid me to say this….I was probably the hardest employee to manage for the executives) I see a lot of mixed reviews and having personally worked here I would like to share an alternate perspective on things. The work culture/office culture is by far the best I have seen. I have worked in Wipro and am currently working in LTI, let me tell you the office culture in these bigger, older, well established organisations feels like prison when compared to the office culture at Ergo. (I have worked/working hybrid in the other organisations and yet I would choose the culture at Ergo 10/10 times). Micro management is done only when necessary, Organisation insists on minimum to no overtime (your German colleagues will probably discourage you from work even a few minutes of overtime). Compare that to other IT giants, having personally worked for these bigger companies, they see you as a machine out of which they shall squeeze as much juice as possible. Salaries are definitely better than most other IT companies for people having upto 5-6 years of experience, beyond that I would say there are plenty of companies out there who would pay significantly better if you are that good at your role. But Ergo as an organisation does take every possible step to retain an employee and give them a very competitive compensation (better than most in my experience). You will get a fixed 10 percent appraisal, hefty bonuses every other quarter. This is far better than 99% IT companies out there. They also send on site to Germany (you have to be lucky enough to get allocated in such a project) for multiple months or even a year. I don’t see anyone on this site mention all of these benefits. Job security is also 10/10. The amount of useless people that I see getting paid an amount that they will probably not get anywhere else honestly made me feel like the company is mother teresa incorporated. You put all of this together and I would argue that this company is jackpot for anyone with 0-4 years of experience. Now coming to the part that might trigger a lot of you folks. I personally left the organisation because I felt that their operations kind of caters to all employees and the ones who constantly have a greater output than their teammates also have to be happy with the same incentives and this is why I left and why I have seen several smart engineers leave Ergo. It is definitely not what I read on this website because most of it is written by entitled people who do not understand how an economy or just an individual organisation at the scale of Ergo functions and goes about generating paychecks for everyone. Most of the negative reviews while they do have merit (I mean who am I to discredit one’s lived experience) they do not do justice to reality because nowhere do they mention that despite having an average CV you get hired at a minimum of 50% increment on your current offer and then you enjoy all the facilities that the company offers and it is these below average over entitled people who are writing these reviews, so I thought since the management has put up with my tantrums for over a year I might as well give a genuine and positive perspective on things. So in short if you have below 5 years of work exp and the role that Ergo is offering is not very different to what you have built in your career so far, take it. Ergo is arguably the best for such a scenario. If you don’t like working here after you join complete one year take the hefty bonuses and leave, I guarantee you will realise after working here how good the work culture is. On the other hand if you have over 5 years of experience and you wish to see 50-60% increment in your pay annually then of course take Ergo offer only if it is maximum as switching a year later is really your only choice of plan. But if you are content with your pay and wish to make your CV better and are now looking for longer lasting leadership roles in the same company then I would say Ergo is definitely far better than the IT giants. Job security is 10/10 and you have an option to build towards becoming a key employee in the organisation, vastly improving your CV and also your leadership skillset. If you are the kind of person who does not shy away from learning and adapting your experience at Ergo will be good I promise but will it be the shoe that finally fits? I don’t know personally in hindsight I would say such a organisation does not exist. If you are the kind of person who sees life as okay I want an all rounded good life good pay, safe job, chill friendly corporate life then this organisation is paradise im not kidding....Read More

They are on a hiring spree. Even though they don’t have many projects, they’ll hire you and ask you to sit and wait for months. If still they don’t receive any projects they’ll force you to change your domain
