Hughes Systique Corporation Senior HR Executive Reviews

Employer’s Response

Dear HSCian, Thank you for appreciating fairly the work culture and by extension the employee centric policies we have in place at HSC which ensure a fair balance between work and our employees’ personal time. Your statement, “Middle Management is Clueless”, is very generic and fails to provide any constructive insight to the reader. HSC is one of the few handful organizations in the world that have been awarded PCMM & CMMi Level – 5 certifications. Such an organizations on a steady growth path for over 16 years now, cannot be where it is now with a “clueless middle management”. Since you have been a part of the Talent Acquisition team, we are sure that you must have been aware of the various internal forums like Q2M, Amber, Zero Hour etc. Instead of raising your concern on a public platform you could have also utilised any of the said internal platforms or even had a conversation about it with your colleagues or the concerned department as we follow an open-door policy, at HSC. We suggest that if you genuinely want to give feedback & bring about a positive change leverage the platforms mentioned above instead of giving too generic a feedback anonymously. And especially against your colleagues with whom (& their group heads) you would be interfacing as part of your day to day working. We wish many more years of your happy association with us. Thank you

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.

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.

You can also leverage the internal platforms like Q2M, Amber, Zero Hour etc. and share your concerns and suggestions anonymously if you wish so.

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.
