Pros

1. Friendly environment. 2. You get to work with talented people. So, it is a good option for freshers to learn. 3. Work is divided into different layers and every layer has a specific team. 4. Infrastructure is fine. 5. Salary is always on time. 6. You get a personal workstation and cubical to work. 7. You've full IT support and they take care of every software and hardware related issue. 8. Cab facility or Travel Allowance is provided. 9. Weekend off. 10. You can easily approach management and talk to them and immediate action will be taken if you're facing anything which is against company policy.

Cons

1. Once you're hired for a specific purpose then it is very difficult to change your role. 2. Work from home was never an option regardless of harsh or extreme situations. But after COVID they might consider this option. 3. They are very strict about 9 to 6 timings. 4. Low salary. They want employees to do quality work and pay them the worst salary. If you're planning to stay there then it'll be a hand-to-mouth situation for you. 5. Whenever an employee leaves this company it takes them a lot of time to decide and fill replacement. 6. There are certain teams in which your skills will be limited and there is no policy for team/department change. 7. This company is more focused on customers rather than employees. 8. There are other companies with lesser revenue but offer better packages and perks. 9. They want to grow exponentially but at the same time, they'll provide linear growth to employees. 10. They believe in quantity rather than quality. For example, instead of hiring a good professional @50K/m they prefer to hire 3 professionals. 11. They say that we have an office here to create employment in Kashmir which is completely wrong. The actual reason is that they are saving a lot of money by getting working done here in Kashmir. The payroll of 15 to 20 people in the U.S might be the entire payroll of the Kashmir Office. It is true and our management knows it. 11. Lot of people come there in cars. Management and other people think that it is because of the salary that they have in BQE. Believe me, it will be very difficult for you to buy and maintain a good car on your salary. 12. If you want to marry and you don't have financial support from your family. Either you have to be unmarried for a long time or you might be able to afford a very simple marriage. 13. One-man show. The CEO is the one who decides and runs everything. Whatever he says is followed no matter if he is right or wrong. He decides everything and sees numbers (revenue) from his perspective and expectations. 14. Those who are saying "It is very hard to run a company in a place like this". He should come out of his cave and see the other companies in Kashmir. He is living in the stone age. 15. You might compromise with everything but you'll get frustrated financially. You can talk to any married person and see how are his expenses and salary going. Talk to any professional working there for more than two years and you'll come to know about the truth. 16. If happy hour meals like pizza and other stuff make you happier than any other thing then you're at the right place.

Pros

From the past 9 years, I worked for BQE Software and have seen good and bad times. It is not easy to run a company at a place where you cannot even get basic amenities of life. This company has always progressed, even if the economy got badly hit, it still stood its ground. During the turmoil in Kashmir, this company has created jobs and kept its pace with the outside world. I have learned a lot from the people who were around me especially my Manager, Vice President (training and consulting). I must admit that it was an uphill drive with him but at the same time, he mentored me to become a better professional. Some amazing and really dedicated colleagues! Finally, I would like to thank the management especially our CEO, Managing Director, General Manager, and all the colleagues. It was a pleasure being part of this amazing company.

Cons

In my opinion, the initial salary is a bit low which would need to be worked on. Some Office tours to different office locations like - Australia and USA for people who have grown old in this company.
