Apart from working in assigned project, manager asks you to help and support in other projects unofficially and gradually invites you in client call and daily scrum call also. On top of it, whenever required, HR invites you for taking interviews without even checking your availability. As we work using client laptop, we don't get time to check HM mails or teams frequently. To my surprise, I have even got calls from HR to take interview right away while attending a party, driving or even on leave.

Have been working here fir 7 months now. They hired me at a good competitive package (15.5 LPA for 5.5 years of SQL DBA with azure experience). I was selected at same time for other mentioned companies but TCS, Infosys, Accenture and NTT Data could not offer matching package. My interaction with people here (Practice manager, Project manager, Delivery manager) till now is good.

Dislikes

I will be talking about DBA practice here (7 months till now, joined with 5.5 years experience) Looks like they have small projects. Ranging as small as 3 months. So there is no stability for employee. As projects are small, there are no team. You are only DBA for the project. No senior or lead to discuss doubts with. They promised me for Azure project but pushed me where ever there is vacancy. In my case it was still worse. Client needed developer and they allocated me, administrator. This was delivery managers mistakes as he did not clear it from client as to what resource they needed. Client said DB resource and he just allocated who ever is available from DB side. Now it was clear for what the situation is. So they asked me to handle client till they hire a developer. And I am handling client since 2 months.

This is only for Pimcore department, HR favours some people , no good salary, you get promotion and awards if you do Bootlickin* only. Worst technology you will learn nothing and you cannot change your tech stack, for that you have to switch company. So if you are getting into Pimcore department just switch the company if you want to grow in career. Other departments are good.

Company policy is good and it is growing well.In company portal one can download all documents regarding employee, Salary is on last working day of month,no such bench policy. After resignation also, they do not take much time to give payment. In two months notice period, in last month if your last date is after 20th of month, then they take little time to give full and final settlement otherwise you will get it on last working day .But I would say Noida center is somewhat lagging than Bangalore. The company is well renowned, headquartered in Bangalore and people strength is less in Noida and maximum are working in Pimcore Technology.

Dislikes

Admin,HR department is somewhere not aware of company policy in Noida. Like Id card activation is done from Bangalore office.I think less number of people are there in Noida branch so that politics is more in Noida. Some general managers are there in Noida branch which are not at all supportive and dependent of some choosy existing employee rather than new one. Good appraisal is also applicable for those with whom manager are friendly and supportive that I noticed a lot. And one thing In Noida, pimcore is the one technology where maximum employees are working and it has no such demand in industry job market .

They have Good Projects. If working for a client and work going on smoothly then nobody from Happiestminds side will bother you. Leave freedom is there. No Dress code anything you wear.

Salary structure is not that good. Hikes are also not good. sometimes if client is not good then nobody can help you.
