Salary is good.

  • Salary - Good

Dislikes

You have to give interview to get into a projects. If you can not crack it you will be on bench and then after some months you have to forcefully get resigned by the HR. If you cannot perform well inside a project, some of the supervisor has the mentality to escalate you from the project without any warning or any discussion about your performance or withoany suggestions like where u need to focus or work on. Also will give some false allegations for escalation. If you get escalated from the project within ur probation period u will get escalate from the company. Need to change there policy who are having 1st time MNC experience.

1.Work-life balance was good since beginning of the project but recently we acquired one more project with the same strength in numbers. 2.Do hard work, management will give you promotion without any blockers. 3.Complete job security will be provided and training will be given to the bench candidates on new adaptive technologies 4.Overall company culture is good. 5.Company politics are there if you search with microscopic view.
