As of I'm concerned, I feel like not much of work pressure. And good batch mates as well as good team mates which made me feel more comfortable.

Dislikes

The first thing is the salary. Even though the science grads as well as the B.E grads are doing the same work, the science grads are not even getting half of what the B.E grads are getting.

The pay for Test Professionals were literally 1/3rd of what the PAT’s would get. We did the same job as them and we were underpaid. Wish this would change.

They offer competitive salary package. That’s all.

Dislikes

There’s no job satisfaction or personal growth. Enough toxic people up there in the management. So don’t expect any support. It’s all about billing. Also you need to complete a ton of courses and most of them are irrelevant or obsolete, so it just eat your valuable time. Most of the time we have to spend our personal time to do all these since there will be project deadlines.

Nothing much, it's average service type company with decent salary. But leaves are good. 30 leaves per year in a service company is really commendable.

Dislikes

1. They hire based on prospective projects, and often the projects don't land. And then they have very limited time on bench, hence job security is an issue. 2. Work from office schedule is very strict, there should be some flexibility. 3. No proper employee benefits such as outings or lunches or parties, all they care about is billing. 4. Little too much of micro-management
