Pros

I am sorry but I have nothing to praise about OATI.I started working here with a lot of dreams and enthusiasm but it all turned out to be a lie and eye opener where employees are exploited for being naive and honest.

Cons

#First you are made to work with obsolete company proprietery scripting laguage known as webplus. #Technical jargon from Energy/power industry that only they know about is thrown at you and you are expected to nod your head. No training on business logic, concepts provided. #The most cheap software development tool like notepad++ are provided for development since its basically scripting that you need to do. # Debugging methodologies are obsolete.No automation tools used for testing debugging or development because they cost money. # No scope for learning a new skills or technology.So basically you are screwed. #Limited/No internet access to read any good technical articles. # Employee development is nil. # No appreciation of hard work. #Emphasis on coming to work at 8:00 AM "SHARP" and leave after 5 only with a exact 1 hour lunch break. #Managers keep an eye on you even if you go to pee or drink water. #More Managers than developers with poor management,product or technical knowledge. #Less pay.Not very attractive perks or bonuses. #You have to beg in front of the Management if you want your manager to give you a good appraisal and make him count your contributions. #Software Developers are expected to play the role of developers , technical support , Business Analyst , DBAs and testers. #No QA team for testing any code changes. #Improper implementation of SDLC ,mismanaged software development environment. #IRONY OF WORKING HERE : You will be yelled at if you come even a minute late after 8 but if you stay late after 5 for work no one will appreciate you. # On top of all the crap expectations from management is to work over weekends. Developers are also expected to go on customer support for full weeks including weekends without any overtime or time compensation. # They keep a close vigil on you if you are on phone for too long.Probably think you are looking for a new job . #No consideration if you want more than 10 days off in case you are travelling abroad or watever reasons. #IN A NUT SHELL : Please dont waste your precious time here.Work at a place where you will be recognised for your hardwork not your timings.

Pros

Onboarding was exceptionally friendly from the moment I accepted the offer through my first day onsite. Great office culture — so many people took the time to welcome me. Positive first impression thanks to a team that genuinely cares about new employees.

Cons

No on‑site food options. Limited walking areas near the campus.

We appreciate your feedback regarding on site food options and agree this is an area we can improve. We are already exploring healthier vending and snack solutions to better support employees’ needs.

Pros

Only good Pro's are: - Good Pay - Great Benefits

Cons

1. Limited Training for New Employees: One of the most frequently repeated criticisms is insufficient onboarding and training. 2. Micromanagement: Strict monitoring of employee time, attendance, and workplace activities. Management is highly controlling. 3. Low Compensation: Low salaries, minimal raises, and limited bonuses are among the most common complaints across review platforms. 4. Limited Flexibility: There is little to no remote work options and strict attendance requirements. Difficulty balancing personal needs with workplace expectations. 5. Slow Career Advancement: Promotions and growth opportunities can be limited or slow. 6. Management and Culture Concerns: Poor communication, lack of employee support, resistance to change, favoritism, and management practices that some employees describe as unsupportive.
