Pros

no pros. not a good environment to work

Cons

Most of the glassdoor reviews are written by management people. they are big liars. No work life balance. [you can't leave the office less than 10 hours. mostly you have to work for 12 or more hours. for example 2 pm to 2 am]. Timing will be 2pm - 11pm, but mostly you will leave after 12.30 am. They are providing cabs after 12.00 am but you will reach home after 2.00am. Useless medical insurance policy. No holiday for public holidays [not even for independence, republic day, tamil new year, christmas, and more]. Only even saturdays are leave.

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to see you feel this way but we strongly differ with your reviews. We have always ensured to provide best experience for our employees, keeping in mind the Industry requirements, there are few rare occasions when our resources do work beyond their work hours and this only because they are aware of their importance and contribution towards project. As part of providing a better experience for our employees, we have initiated many practices where they can address their concerns. One of the most successful practices is ‘Speak Up Meeting’ where any employee can speak to the HR Head directly. We have numerous instances where our employees have acquired full medical benefit including cash less treatment and we also provide work from home option. We work for 6 hours on alternative Saturdays for more productive tasks like training, knowledge sharing session etc. Being our former employee, we hope you find time to get in touch with us and we shall go through all your concerns and build a positive relationship With all respect, Thanks Again for your thoughts.

Pros

CGVAK is a great place to start your career and reach heights. Good learning experience if you are a fresher. Started my career as Senior Developer and currently Project Manager. Put down your best effort and you will be rewarded with exciting growth opportunites. Onsite opprotunities - I have been to Canada twice and currently in US, never thought this would happen in my career. Opportunity to learn new technologies. One of the best and supportive Management. Good work culture.

Cons

Nothing in my 12 years of being with CGVAK.

Pros

I worked for CG-VAK for almost 18 years since my graduation in 1996, the first 11 years in India and the last 7 years in the USA. I moved on from CG-VAK in 2014 due to personal reasons. But I can say without a doubt that this company helped me to groom myself as a professional and to become who I am today. 1) The end-to-end software development exposure you get here will enable you to work in any fast-paced cutting edge technology company in the world. Even the guys who has posted negative reviews here have agreed to this fact. 2) The work environment here is very friendly and people treat you like family. 3) Everyone in the management is easily accessible. They stick to their promises and you need to hold your end of the bargain up. 4) I loved this company for recognizing my efforts. Your growth is unquestionable if you have the right attitude. 5) I felt the salary was on par with any similar sized software development company in Coimbatore. Even if some people say otherwise, you'll learn the tricks of the trade better here.

Cons

Of course there were a few occasions when things went awry and made me feel that I was in the wrong place. But it tends to happen in any such long time relationship. What else can I ask for other than a strong foundation for my career?
