Company culture is really good, and employee benefits really shows the organization cares about it's employees. Women employees get one extra leave each month.

Dislikes

I had left due to my High exoectation in matters of quality of work that I get to do. I was already an expert in my area of LTE and CUPS. The work that I was getting was not up to my expectation. Hence I decided to leave, but that was an extremely personal choice, which maybe 95% people wouldn't make.

Work life balance is good. Not much work to do. If you're someone who wants to just relax and retire then this company is fine for you. You can easily spend your life here not working.

Dislikes

No work from home at all. Go to office daily and spend 8.5 hours in office compulsory. No learning and growth. Comfort zone which will make you obsolete in the market and you'll never be able to leave this company. Low hikes/5-10% max. A lot of politics. People in this company since 10-15 years are at the top and they don't have any skills so they want their subordinates to not learn anything also otherwise subordinates will replace them. They're insecure and will not let you implement anything innovative in the team. No work in the name of AI. ONLY HQ IN KOREA WORKS ON AI. INDIANS ARE JUST BUG FIXING SUPPORT PEOPLE...Read More

Transport : (But the Team leader ensure that you come at 8:15AM using office bus and leave late after 12 Working hours. Cabs are provide to those employes only who have worked for 11hrs in office on that day.) Food: (But now It's quantity/quality decreases due to low budget) Other Things are worst here.

Dislikes

All thing are hell here, let's discuss one by one. ------ 1. Working Hours: They treat you like labours, and asked you to support for 12-13 hours daily any time, even on weekends. If you refused, they will threat for giving low score in MBO(evaluation). Sometimes, On leaving from office, they have tried to block by way or himiliatedme. ------ 2. Work : They will always ask you to finish the Issue analysis within 10 minutes to submit report to MD of company by making them urgent Issue(everything is urgent here). And manager convert the office into jail by saying that "Nobody will be going to left the office utill Issue finished" at 5PM. Moreover, most of the work here is meaning for carrer growth. Most of manager/leader are from TCS/Wipro/Worst companies. ------ 3. Leaves: They asked you to work on Leaves days also irrespective of your condition. Many times they forced me to hard/intense work although I have 102F fever/body pain/headache,etc. They provide no leaves in commercialization period (for 5-6 month). ------ 4. Evaluation: They provide meet rating to 75% employees and good rating to only 15% employes, who are best sycophant of Part Leader/Manager. Note: ratings doesn't depent on your work. ------- 5.Salary: They will provide 1.8X salary to IIT college as compare to NIT or IIIT or others for same wok and post. Salary hike is only 5-6%. Overall salary is less than the industry level(Donot see the CTC). Also behave in good manager with iitians as compare to others. ------- 6. Firing: They fire 10-20% employess every year and threat other if they do not support for 12hrs in offce. Recently they fires 20% employess through mass firing. Hence, no job security. ------ Still if you to join unmanaged company for money and make your life hell, Then, It's your choose....Read More

Some teams are good with good people, I enjoying working with them.

Dislikes

8:30 hour policy. Most of the things. Fully Office. Company holds your funds in some cases, you have raise approval first otherwise they approve the expense even if its for company activity. HR has say over little thing over ridding even managers. Work is average.
