The work-culture and knowledge sharing is great. For freshers, it's a dream job, as several learning opportunities are here in KPIT. Always looking towards new innovation and great work environment.

Dislikes

Salary is somehow low, same as slow growth, as increase in experience with work-life balance demands more. There is no training specific to domain for freshers, so guide them step-by-step, which is a pain sometimes.

KPIT Technologies is a good place to work at. It encourages people working over there to come up with new ideas and there is a procedure to crystalize such ideas.Coming to work culture, even though they are many activities in the company where the employees can be engaged for their growth , it is always good to first complete the work assigned to you given by the manager and then later engage in other activities. When I joined the company , in the project that I was assigned, the experienced employees imparted to me the training so that I can carry on the work. We must be always in a situation to be self independent in our work and effectively do it with less supervision. There are also relaxing times like team going out for lunch or dinner to a good restaurant. That's my review.

Dislikes

The salary was good but when working towards a deadline , I tend to work for long hours not because I was incompetent to complete the work . I complete the assigned work during the working hours of the company but company has a reputation to do quality work so there is a workflow which assures quality work and that involves qualified team members to review my work. While working in huge teams which consists of 80 members, it's takes lot of time to find a team member who is willing to review my work and take their time out for me.Even if they review , I would be given rework which doesn't allow me to take my work to the end of the workflow and that causes me to miss deadlines. As the deadlines are missed I couldn't get good appraisal

...ded, Java or any other technology, there is opportunity to work on all of these. The salary is good after you become Senior software Engineer in 2.5-3 years (8.5 to 9.5 depending on your ratings), and annual hike is 10-16% .

Dislikes

Late joining and putting freshers in non technical projects.

...all experience would be average as you wont be exposed to latest technologies. Salary hike is very negligible, even if you prove your worth they will be expecting more from you so that they can void your increment. The manager under whom i was working had no professional ethics, and in our team non-technical people(Manager) used to estimate the story point as well as the estimation. No work life balance, there were times as a team we have worked for more than 15-16hr/day(During COVID lockdowns) also with the reduced salary of 25%. and even after that there was no hike or promotions.

Dislikes

Compensation is low, they know your worth only when you put resignation. No work life balance. No Job security. Managers do not value an individuals contribution rather they take the promotions. Lack of motivation within the team.
