For fresher good salary, inside city, hybrid model

Dislikes

...ning might be a better option because the toxic management can ruin your career. In particular, the OPS Manager (Michael Rodney Fernando) does not give promotions or salary hikes to the right people. Instead, he surrounds himself with a group of yes-man, fawners, and apple polishers. Additionally, the EU-RD managers lack knowledge of processes but still demand KPI maintenance.

They is No Career Growth as Data Processing Analyst In NIQ, Based on Team You will get Data Entry Job and Handling Client Role, Its a Task Based Job, You will not work under Any Project. You may Work On Saturday or Sunday aslo Sometimes if they is many Tasks. They won't use Excel, Power BI, Tableau or Nothing. Its just their Own tool Which looks like excel you need to use that and its not the role which is related to Data Analyst role its a Data entry Job.

They hired me with a good salary, great hike from my previous salary. Interview process was challenging, multiple rounds, but I was given proper clarity and feedback each time - One of the main reasons I chose to join here despite holding multiple competing offers. Business & Financials wise company looks so stable and always growing.

Dislikes

I was hired for a particular 'Vertical' - which was clumsy as hell, no proper process for anything - CI/CD, Security vulnerability scanning, Deployment process, Quality gates, Testers, Performance testing, etc., - Everything is available for namesake, but nothing implemented properly. Leadership wants to drive success by setting target numbers, Senior Managers plan for unrealistic goals, finally putting pressure on Senior & Junior Engineers. They expect a Senior Engineer to lead a project / module - thus managing a few people (3-6), attend a hell lot of meetings, work with incompetent Release Management team, Respond to production issues or incidents ASAP round the clock, and work for 10 points in a Sprint as per Agile. Agile is huge laugh - since priorities change left & right, Ad-Hoc changes are pulled right in the middle of sprints, and end of PI - you will be bashed in reviews if you do not complete the planned items for the PI. So obviously, Work life balance goes for a toss.
