Hughes Systique Corporation Engineering - Software & QA Department Reviews

Employer’s Response

Dear HSCian, We would like to start by thanking you for your contributions at HSC and are glad that you found the management and the food to be “good” at HSC. It is extremely unfortunate that you had to resort to publishing vague, misguiding and misleading statements for the readers of this review. Since you are still a part of the HSC family, you must be aware that HSC has been appraised with CMMi level – 5 certification for the three domains of Development, Services and People and is also the first organisation in the world to be appraised so. Such certifications are awarded after rigorous audits, checks and ensuring that the organisation is adhering to the policies and procedures. By extension of that, all our interactions, processes and even communications are guided by the laid down policies & procedures. Hence, your claims regarding the lack of policies are not only unsubstantial but are also irrational. However, yes, we do agree that there are times when just like any other software and engineering services company, customer & at times, phase of the project do influence our working routine. That is why HSC has a policy on flexible working hours, which by definition, explains that we do not observe strict office timings. As you must also be knowing that the Flexi Time policy helps ensure that HSCians get break to rejuvenate themselves after extended hours. We would encourage you to kindly talk to your manager, Engineering Group head, the Engineering Head or for that matter with Mr. Vinod Sood, MD, for not only you have developed misconceptions about the financial stability of the company but have also misconstrued the lack of interaction as “Manager not listening”. As you must be knowing that HSCians can also leverage internal platforms like AI powered – Amber, Q2M, Zero Hour etc. to share your concerns or suggestions anonymously if you wish so. But since you have no inclination towards knowing about the organisation’s policies or platforms, we understand why you must have missed out on knowing about the internal platforms. Nevertheless, we wish many more years of your happy association with HSC.

Dear HSCian, While we are glad that HSC’s cultural engagements and lunch have found a mention in the likes section of your review, we would also like to thank you for your contributions at HSC. We believe what you may have perceived as politics could actually be a case of misunderstanding and miscommunication. For there are always two sides & perspectives to any claim. As you must be knowing that HSC is the first organization in the world to be appriased with CMMi level – 5 certification for the three domains of Development, Services and People. As an extension, your claim of “less wage” even after hard work, stands invalid, and is misguiding & vague as all our working processes are defined by well prescribed guidelines, without adhering to which we could not have attained such certifications. Also, with a substantial number of our employees being associated with us for more than 10 years, it would not have been so in case was no “normalisation of salary”. We would urge you to kindly talk to your manager, engineering group head, engineering head or for that matter with Mr. Vinod Sood, MD, for we do not shy away from such conversations and walk the talk when it comes to following the open-door policy. You can also leverage internal platforms like Amber, Zero Hour, Q2M etc. to share your concerns and suggestions anonymously, if you wish so. Nevertheless, we wish many more years of your happy association with us.

Dear HSCian, We would like to thank you for your valuable contributions at HSC. Coming to the cons section of your review, we would encourage you to talk to your manager, engineering group head or the engineering head as what we believe could be a case of misunderstanding and miscommunication. At HSC, employee centricity acts as a cornerstone of our foundational values which has been very carefully created and curated over the years and since our inception. You can also leverage the internal platforms like Q2M, Amber, Zero Hour etc. and share your concerns and suggestions anonymously if you wish so. Nevertheless, we wish many more years of your happy association with us.

Dear HSCian, We would like to start by thanking you for your valuable contributions at HSC. Coming to the dislikes section of your review, we believe that you have already made up your mind to write generic, misleading & vague comments rather than providing more context for the benefit of the readers of this review. To start with, irrespective of the sector or scale of any business or organisation, customers are an integral part of the revenue earning process, and we are sure that even you would agree that no organisation can truly prosper if they do not prioritize their customers. But at HSC, just like customer centricity, employee centricity also acts as a cornerstone to our foundational values. These are the same values that have resulted in a rich technical & engineering legacy of over 18 years. We are also fortunate to have HSCians who have been with us since our inception and the media tenure at HSC stands at an impressive 6.4 years. In these competitive times and the sector we are operating in, it would not have been possible for an organisation to be on the growth path that we are on without the support of their employees. However, yes, we do agree that there are times when just like any other software and engineering services company, customer & at times, phase of the project do influence our working routine. That is why HSC has a policy on flexible working hours, which by definition, explains that we do not observe strict office timings. As you must also be knowing that the Flexi Time policy helps ensure that HSCians get break to rejuvenate themselves after extended hours. Since we believe what you might be experiencing could be a case of miscommunication, we would encourage you to talk to your manager, engineering group head, engineering head or for that matter with Mr. Vinod Sood, MD. As we walk the talk when it comes to following the open-door policy. You can also leverage the internal platforms like Q2M, Zero Hour, Amber etc. to share your concerns and suggestions anonymously if you wish so. Nevertheless, we wish many more years of your happy association with us.

Dear HSCian, Thank you for your valuable contributions at HSC. However have you had shared in-detail your concerns or suggestions, it would have helped us in assisting you better. Or you could have also leveraged internal platforms like Amber, Q2M, Zero Hour etc. and share your concerns or suggestions anonymously, if you had wished so. Nevertheless, thank you for your valuable contributions at HSC.

Employer’s Response

Dear HSCian, Thank you for sharing your approving review on HSC’s employee centric policies which enable all our employees to manage their work & personal lives efficiently. Addressing the dislikes section of your review, we have never claimed, advertised as such nor do we aspire to be in top quartile when it comes to the compensation that we offer. Our benefits package along with people centric work environment, an enabling family like culture and opportunity to work on cutting edge technologies for global customers makes us one of the best companies to work for in our industry. Moreover, as you must also be knowing that currently the sector is still recovering from the effects of the pandemic and while many organisations have resorted to retrenching their employees, at HSC we have never in the past nor now, have let the market conditions affect any HSCian. You are encouraged to kindly talk to your manager, engineering group head or for that matter the engineering head as we walk the talk when it comes to following the open-door policy. You can also leverage the internal platforms like Amber, Q2M, My Ideas Matter etc. to share your concerns and suggestions anonymously, if you wish so. We wish many more years of your happy association with us.
