Opportunity to get hands on with the product code. Suggestions are encouraged and welcome by the team members even if you are a fresher/new member. You will get to interact with customers and work on the product from a very early time. Get a deep understanding of project and resource management and ALM. Since it is a product company, there is very good job security directly proportional to your understanding of the product....Read More

Dislikes

Although there is job security, there is no incentive to perform better. Management doesn’t officially acknowledge any accomplishments nor provide any incentives to work beyond the bare minimum. Work life balance is a hit or miss depending of your experience level and there is no overtime or compensation for working on weekends when required.

Job security is the only liking factor here. Work culture is bad , company policies are worse and management is worst of all.

Dislikes

As this a place for constructive feedback so i will suggest if you are choosing this workplace please remember few points 1.You will not get any recognition no matter how hard you work for the company. 2. No compensation for weekend work. 3. Work pressure and unachievable deadlines to meet. and many more. If you are okay with above point you can join.

1. Salary hikes 2. Year end week long shut-downs 3. A few very talented people, who are stuck here

Dislikes

1. Worst ever management. 2. No corporate ethics. 3. Insane and revengeful HR director. 4. Robot HR. 5. Award winning internal politics. 6. Outdated technology stack, no process/methodology followed in day to day work, decisions are taken on the fly, pathetic infrastructure, nobody literally care! 7. No work life balance, here deadline is like lifeline. One has to often work on weekends (without any payments) to meet deadlines set by senior directors. 8. CCTV cameras in office floor, surveillance software (Teramind) in laptop/desktop to monitor you all the time. 9. Insane work distribution - some work day-night forgetting their personal life/health, others can be seen having nap after lunch, getting massage from office peon, leaving office early to attend their daughter's barbie doll's birthday celebration (child imagination)! 10. Salary disbursement is a manual process and depend on so many factors. Salary is always credited late. 11. Strict office timings - You have to come by 9.30 am sharp, failing which your name will be noted by office peon, despite having bio-metrics, but no policy to leave on time. 12. Distasteful environment - People, even very senior persons openly abuse, crack adult jokes, pass body shaming, lewd remarks, especially in front of female coworkers. 13. Not at all a caring company, indifferent to employee health, COVID pandemic. Tried repeatedly to resume office in this pandemic without having enough space in floor to arrange proper seating for all. Forced some employees to visit client location in the peak of 2nd wave and helped them getting infected with the deadly virus. 14. Cost cutting initiatives can seriously make you think about their financial condition. Forced all employees (verbally) to apply for 4 days leave without pay per month for 2 consecutive months, made them work and still deducted salary. To save money, even a white board is cut vertically into 2 pieces using a hack shaw to put them into two different rooms in the floor....Read More

Salary paid every month. One or two people are really good. you could learn a lot from them. Employees are mostly fresher so fun and light environment. Has impressive client list.

Dislikes

Salary comes late often after 5th sometime on 9th. Increment is directly proportional to dependency and how many people resigned recently. Senior management work together and choose to misrepresent any internal issue to CEO. So they doesn't gets scold. All the reviews in ambition box is analyzed immediately and blamed on people who left recently and targeted even. Employees are made of 95% freshers and 5% of senior people with 15 years plus experience. HR Director has other business on side and treat engineers as worker in assembly line. Thinks if you put enough people you can get any job done in 1 min. Policy are made on the fly. differs from people to people. one with good relation with mgmt. usually get the lesser restriction. Old Tech/Infra. HR doesn't understand different verticals of engineering divisions. For example can ask a developer to be system admin or developer to go in tester or solution. Salary cut for no reason during COVID and employee forced to work as they got Leave without pay for 4 days in two months. That cause severe demoralization and almost all mid senior to very senior people left the company. Management is least bothered about well being of Employee more interested in making themselves looks good in front of CEO. Even if it requires forcing people to come to office during pandemic. Kovair might be the only tech company without a full time CTO or any full time technical advisor who actively work with development team. Internal tech training is a joke, people are forced to learn new technology on their own and asked to teach others....Read More

1) As this is a product company, I have learnt many things with a brief knowledge of particular items. 2) Work culture is moderate. Friendly behavior inside team. 3) In Every Team, some team members are good in respect with to behavior and knowledge sharing and other aspects. 4) Job security is there. If you are capable enough then your job is secure here. 5) If you perform higher education, Management supports you to achieve this, they will not create any obstruction in it but we have to manage both work and education in parallel....Read More

Dislikes

1) As being a product company, we get in depth knowledge of the technology that we work in. We don't get to work in too many technologies like in service company but deeper in few technologies. 2) Sometimes there is lot of work pressure in engineering. 3) Some time there is dissatisfaction in hike and sometimes it is fine. 4) Need more training and knowledge sharing in development technologies.

If you achive dependency you job will never be at risk.

Dislikes

Not at all an employee friendly company. Focused on profit not on people. All the directors(hr or technical) are highly unethical. Afraid to speak up what is right in front of CEO. Beautiful girls appearing for interview are never rejected by senior director. Very senior people are openly pass horrible remarks to their female colleague and facebook picture of female current/ex employees or their family members. Company peons are treated as slave they are forced to stay in office 24*5. Its the worst of human rights abuse i have ever witnessed in my life. Policy are not transparent. Hr is like robot doesn't have a mind of own, always ask senior what to do. Due to hostile employe policy senior and talented people never stay. They always leave. So company focuses on hiring fresher. Office party are forced veg only due to vastu(ceo belives in those) where 90% people are non veg. Btw people are forced to come to the event. If you dont attend you will be harrased by your seniors and directors. You will be forced to travel even during pandemic. Senior management rejoice if any of their peers or folks from middle management leaves. As they will continue to leech off ceo with non productive idea(like training rich Student in Bangladesh and make profit from that instead selling or inventing new software products)...Read More
