- Salary on time but during bench period 50% salary cut . - work life balance somehow there - in some extend they follow some cmm 5 organization guidelines in culture

Dislikes

- Recruitment team and HR dept are very bad . They respond to all queries but taking solution takes longer time . - No severance pay or additional benefits during laid off time .Laid off happens suddenly .No organizational meetings on awareness of it . - Any mistake happens during exit time means you will be mad taking follow up for correction. - WFH not mentioned properly in offer letter means you should plan to relocate somehow otherwise you have to get laid off for not following RTO guidelines though you have various valid reasonlike medical emergency ,manager approval etc but RTO mail supersedes all approvals ....Read More

Dislikes

Very unprofressional. Scheduled interview which was very basic for my experience. Asked about salary expectation in technical round and then they didnt even come back with feedback even after calling them multiple times. If they dont have budget or intension to pay when it was clearly called out during initial HR discussion then they shouldnt have scheduled the interview in the first place

Definitely would be bad based on my experience with HR and the people response

Overall a kafkaesque experience. Unemployment has fewer downsides than being employed here. The short stint here made me appreciate all previous, current and likely the future employers a lot more. You MUST work here atleast once in your life.

Dislikes

Typical small organization with a startupesqe culture where there is blatant abuse of power and designation. This amplified for me considering I joined in during covid where middle management was even more dru/nk on power. Their favourite can do no wrong and all the feedback for his/her inability to deliver outcome magically finds it's way to everyone else. My leadership specifically made an especially sneaky move to block my movement within projects when I quit to ensure my request to leave the project can only be honored if I left the organization entirely. I hear they treat their non contract staff better so please do not join here as a contractor. You are more expendable than a used tissue....Read More

Work life balance

Dislikes

1. Never ever escalate to senior management even if the project is going out of your hand otherwise, you're out 2. Internal politics resource management group newcomers are first target by RMG group and will not allocate project because they are old in company, and they want only they allocate the people they know. 3. HR will support RMG not employee. 4. RMG is not efficient to understand your skill they don't even have proper communication they are just old in the company. 5. They form a group of particular regional language and support only them (Tamil & Kannada). 6. During meeting with client, they communicate in regional languages internally in presence of client. 7. To some extent they abuse in their regional language...Read More

Nothing at all

Dislikes

Most of the things- poor management styles- fake urgency setup- blame game by seniors- throwing under bus culture- no coordination between workload and attrition. I can go on for days at length to describe what horrible a company it is.

There are a few benefits like health insurance, learning new courses, and reimbursement. Those are good.

Dislikes

We were assigned to work in a client location, we didn't feel we were working in our company... once the client project stabilizes, we are released from them... back in the sonata bench, we don't get the other project/client. finally, HR asked us to resign from the job ...
