Senior management is amazing. People value your opinions. You will be heard and respected no matter what level of experience you have. No one bursts out angrily on other person and a behaviour like this is highly discouraged as well. I had the best time here.

It's okay to work in NIIT if you are not looking forward for high salary and promotions. For first timers, it's a good learning experience but for others with experience, NIIT do not give good salary packages as compared with other companies.

...submission and scores. I got lots of client appreciations still the hike was 0%. They are okay in letting their employees go if they ask for salary hike. One person is required to do the work of 4 people. Workload is too much and you are at your manager's discretion. If he tells the management you are doing good work you are good even when you don't work at all and if he doesn't like you he will tell the management you aren't good. They would believe him. Bad management. Project managers are biased and only favor the gals who come to office loaded with make up.
