Dislikes

Work culture, no work life balance. No skill development. Managers are god and need to praise them and they hv favourites and they take any suggestions front hen only and your opinion does not matter. Long term ppl don't allow you to grow and hike forget service based provide competitive hikes. Health insurance one of the worst. Lotof micromanagement. They say agile but team does not follow any agile process. All stories are priority. Need to work more than the specified time. Lot of call post logout in the night. Newly started monitoring the log out time....Read More

Cab service Subsidized food and in house canteen

Dislikes

Long work hours, in the evening calls till 9-10 pm is common Recently organization has started micro-management They have started strict attendance in office and has direct impact on hikes promotiona etc, even employees are given IP rating (managers are asked to provide IP rating to atleast 10 percent of their team)and asked to leave

Likes

Learning platforms and learning days are great, but it would be even better if we weren't indirectly asked to do work. Also, free cab services is a nice addition

Dislikes

Recognition and accurate feedback are often elusive unless you have a close relationship with your Tech Lead or Scrum Master. Managers/CLs could better evaluate employees' contributions by considering multiple perspectives rather than relying on feedback from a single team member. Favoritism significantly impacts appraisals and promotions.

Work life balance is good. Flexible work timings . Perks are average. Medical insurance is good.

Dislikes

Fidelity looked to be a great place which had good job security. But now things looks to be changing. Mandatory last (IP) ratings , Based on managers preferential treatment for some associates ,silent politics . Networking is a very key aspect for individuals career. It looks like they are taking measures to force people move out on their own.

If you are smart enough to handle internal politics you will have good time here and good learning. Enough learning opportunities if you ask for it . Company itself has good perks like free transport , food coupons ,snacks etc.

Dislikes

The hybrid model is different and isn't working and they have started micromanaging attendence during onsite or connect time . Long timers have favourites and won't let others growth and get opportunities. Honestly have felt linguistic issue in Karnataka office , people keep speaking about work also in local language and if you observe around you there will be more people from wherever your managee is .Posts will offten be internally filled with these same language favourites....Read More

Likes

The company provides everything that is needed for an individual in a day to day basis and employees are friendly to new joiners.

Dislikes

They don’t provide challenging work that has a good impact on one’s satisfaction. The pay compared to the counterparts are very less. The pay scale revision for certain roles have not been done for the past 10 years. The stipend they provide during internship needs a serious revision.
