...and QC doesn't easily let go of any employee. So, some people are enjoying Govt. job like job satisfaction with much better pay. HR needs to do a much better job in bringing the right talent to the hiring managers and also, in organising employee engagement activities.

Good pay. Work gives satisfaction but at the same time it gets too hectic( believe me engineers have to stay in office till midnight also if the work is not complete)

  • Salary - Good

Dislikes

Managers micro manage team members and there is a lot of politics involved in work assignment and appraisals. The complaints don't get heard even at higher levels due to politics(since managers and above have been there for around 15 years together so basically you cannot complain about any issue as higher management people have worked together for a long time). Not so open work culture overall.
