...choose their favourite for plum projects and exposures and onsite opportunities. Compensation is good while joining, be prepared to do double the work based on your designation and team culture. There's a lot of politics at all levels, be prepared to get crushed and move forward if it's not your cup of tea. But if you spend two years then it starts getting easier.. you'll understand the political environment and learn to steer away from groups and individuals.. American bosses are the worst here, especially the one I got assigned.. literally made my life miserable.. but you'll meet talented and inspiring individuals along the way as well..

... during the hiring process, but ideally the software portion is extremely small. They pay average wages and add stocks that you will eventually receive in the name of compensation. (They will fire you before it got vested.) There is nothing new to learn about. They have legacy monolith systems (If you enjoy the newest technology, don't join.). . A small group of people oversee the entire PDC and make all decisions about the expansion of the division. They continue to work on the trial-and-error concept and have no notion how software companies operate. And if they make an unwise decision, they will save face by dismissing naive new personnel without cause.Because of their own job uncertainty, they never allow any new managers or higher-ranking individuals to settle in on a project. A laptop, monitor, keyboard, headphones, and other equipment are shipped home prior to the joining day. However, I was instructed to deliver everything to the office as I departed. The entire experience was awful. I won't suggest somebody for a manager or higher position; it's better to join proper IT companies.
