Likes

Good branding helps to hire candidates to fall in the trap Insurance and food money is a part of annual salary Good stock options given Spends a lot of money to open and expand new office in Hinjewadi No office is Kharadi or Magarpatta or Mundhwa - employees have to come to office at least 2 days and 5 days if client needs

Dislikes

Hiring and then firing candidates due to project not coming Recruitment team puts a lot of pressure of the candidates to join immediately - candidates reject other offers only to get fired from Persistent as there is lot of hiring happening even if the client is not there.

Absolutely nothing! Just salary credit end of the month.

Dislikes

Highly toxic, disrespectful and unethical culture. There is no rewards and recognition to your efforts. Absolutely, no vision for your growth and career! Highly insecure if someone is on bench for 30-45 days. And yes, you need to search project. There is absolutely “NO” help from RM or HR. “EMPATHY” lacks completely across the board. Extremely unhealthy environment!

...fices in major cities and hence you can select nearest office from your home. 2. Salary is better compared to other service based companies.

Dislikes

1. Number of new projects is less and hence getting relevant project as per your skills is difficult. 2.If your on bench unfortunately then getting project is also impossible. 3. There are projects which are short duration like 3 months to six months only. 4. Due to shorter duration of project, skills will not be improved and parallelly you will loose confidence because your skill set is decreasing month by month. 5. Some clients are very arrogant. Need to work in second shift. 6. No long term projects. 7. Not for 15 years plus level experience because existing employees are staying for long. These people won't allow you grow in career wise because they are in same position for long.

Dislikes

Below are my concern that I found problem in Persistent. Low salary, changing company culture, job security, long notice period, tremendous work pressure, very long working hours, travel policy, relocation policy, onsite policy (e.g. job loss or return to base location if unbilled for two weeks only, no accommodation in initial days) etc.

Nothing good in this company.

Dislikes

Worst management. No work life balance. No ethics. They are trying to replace existing employees whom they hired recently at higher packages with new employees with less package. Once you are on bench they willnot provide any project and after two months they will force you to resign.
