Not much opportunities to learn technologies and tech stack is fairly older. Due to lack of technical documentation learning curve is steep for new joiners. Less number of leaves.

The salary which you get monthly which has no delay ever, even in covid duration and also when there was the ransomwar cyber attack in Oct 2020.

Dislikes

In 2021 Feb, I worked in the Pune office located at SB Road. The infrastructure is not at all upto expectations. The pantry is gross and the good provider is just a local guy with terrible hygiene habits. The building has a a hazardous elevator which you have to use at your own risk. I worked on a desktop with 8GB RAM for almost 1.5-2yrs wherein others had their toys of choice. Never got a VM to work upon which is a necessity in SBSI without which you can't breathe. They use SVN, JSPX, JSP, XML, Spring Web Flow, Maven, Intellij, Tomcat, React, Redux, Java, Jira. There's a huge partial play between Pune and Noida wherein Noida is always favoured since it's the old acquisition and Pune is a new one. I'd say if ur ready to gamble your lattest cutting edge tools, technologies and all ur sharpened skillset for money then u can surely join this org. As a Backend developer, if you work on a new task/enhancement there should always be a new feature branch where a dev. can work with all the freedom he requires but that's not the case here which is surprisingly insane as per the industry standards. There's a single product named Cassiopae which is being built using above mentioned technologies and which is super legacy wherein they have their own custom framework which you cannot modify. The processes followed are not employee/developer friendly. I didn't understand one thing, if you have purchased a licensed of JIRA and if it's highly customisable, inspite of that we have to attach additional Excell Sheets like Time consumed for a Bug(JiRA), code review excell sheet, the required time estimate excell sheet. Almost like a data entry job here which is naive. I won't take names, but the people with huge experiences and dependency are certainly rude, unhelpful and unsupportive at critical & crucial times of work. No provisions for gym, sports or any extra activities for employees welfare. Only few activities wherein you are forced like a kid to participate as if it's a school....Read More

Terrible. Working 12-16 hours to reach deadlines isn't pleasant always. Communication & collaboration with senior experienced employees who have spent a huge time in this org. is difficult due to the dependency one has created.

Employee Benefits

You get your monthly salary without delay. No gym or sports, no free transport, no free food, no education assistance. Fortunately got work from home due to COVID after the legal authorities marched in and forced people to leave the office in the initial dangerous days of covid-19 in (march-2020). Yes and no headphones for official work either. You need to buy them urself for office use.
