Made great friends, and nice flex is a good idea. Other than that, there's nothing to like.

It's been a year since I have joined. I didn't get a salary hike even though that's what they promised at the time of joining and now they have put me on a PIP. I am an experienced professional and someone who takes pride in the work I do and don't go asking around how to do my job. I help juniors from time to time even though those efforts aren't capitalized. Even after delivering everything on time and making a lot of performance improvements and driving important technical meetings, my manager has written a bad performance review about me, stating I can't do my job without help from feature leads, and QAs don't have a trust on me. He also adds that I get a lot of review comments on my code reviews (which are more about clarifications and choices made btw), which, I didn't know counts as a metric for bad performance? Also, somehow there was a P1 in production due to code which I didn't write (I just added a new feature around which gave them an excuse to blow it all on me). QAs couldn't identify this bug either, but nobody was held responsible except me, and this happened 2 months after I joined the team. I mean just say that you can't afford me and need to downsize, nothing personal and there are much better paying companies out there. Why all this PIP nonsense and accusing me of a bad performance? If you are looking for a product-based company, stay away from NICE. Most of the people working here are from a service-based background, and you'd be involved in a lot of dirty politics besides your own job. (Not trying to generalize all service background employees here)

Fun activities time to time.

Dislikes

...e to office when do you go. Manager don’t even knows what his team members does. One who butters the manager will get promotion n bonus. One can’t even complaint to higher management because manager threatens a lot and if one does complaint then he will face consequences.

Likes

Lot of events and activities. Lot of goodies and t-shirt. Flexible timing and lot of training session.

Dislikes

work wise didn't got lot of opportunity or growth. Appraisal and bonus are not transparent upto manager to decide. Management says they have over hired. Few of colleagues faced White collar lay offs now a days by giving wrong or 1 way feedback. Lot of favouritism for old pals and friends. Don't join this organisation based on some good review and job security only.
