...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.

Dislikes

Very high pressure even for freshers, no proper training, they expect you understand by yourself, many people left due to this. No proper training materials, no focus on team building, no focus on empowering new people. Even seniors work till 9 pm , reqwuired at least 3-4 years to know the basics. Worst food So much high pressure that u literraly cry 2 years bond on joining bonus They make you feel you are the stupidiest person on planet. 15-18 years experience guy wants a guy who joined 6 months back to work like superman. They dont teach you anything, you have to figure out by yourself. This is the worst company to work for Work is so much that some days i get back pain and i got fever. If you want to feel this come here, and start writing worst review than this. I never seen any freshers who dont want to leave this company. Work per head is very very high. They make you feel incompetent because you dont know something, How the sm1 will know if you dont teach them or ramp up them Managers dont care about ramp up, they think you will figure out, Their ignorance towards you is your greatest frustratation. And yes i am from top 10 engg institute of the country, you can figure out that well. Please talk to people before joining especially who joined 1-2 years back they will tell you reality and the frustratation
