Pros

Salary on time. Brand name.

Cons

Disclaimer: This is my personal experience in my particular project. Can't say about other projects, but have heard similar things. I want to explain how this place actually operates, because the reality isn't visible until you're trapped in it. This company runs on a systematic attrition model: Hire 100 people. Extract maximum output through systematic pressure, forces you to work late hours, even weekends. After a few months: 20% normalize the abuse and stay, 20% burn out and quit, 60% remain struggling. Replace the 20% who quit with fresh hires. Repeat cycle. It works perfectly for them. There's always a baseline of normalized employees who've accepted this as normal. There's always a struggling majority who can't quit due to financial pressures, EMIs, family responsibilities, or the belief that "all IT companies are like this." And there's always fresh talent desperate enough to take the jobs of those who escape. This system is designed for high attrition. It's not a bug. It's the feature. Monthly resignations aren't concerning to management. They're expected. Budgeted for. The cost of replacing an employee is lower than the cost of creating a humane work environment. If you're young, desperate, or new to the industry, you're the perfect candidate. You'll work 60-70 hour weeks thinking "it's just temporary" or "I need the experience." By the time you realize it's not temporary, you're either broken enough to stay or burnt out enough to leave. Either way, the machine continues. Your health, your family time, your mental peace—these are acceptable casualties in the pursuit of quarterly delivery targets.

Pros

Persistent Systems provides good learning opportunities, supportive teams, and exposure to real client-facing projects. The work environment is professional, and employees get chances to improve technically, take ownership, and grow with the right guidance.

Cons

Since I am still relatively new to the organization, I have not experienced any major cons that need to be highlighted at this point. So far, the overall experience has been positive, and I am still learning more about the company culture, processes, and long-term growth opportunities.

Pros

I recently joined Persistent Systems and have had a positive experience so far. The company provides opportunities to work with modern technologies, learn new skills, and collaborate with talented professionals. The onboarding process was well organized, and the support from team members and managers has been helpful. The work environment is professional and employee-friendly, with a strong focus on continuous learning and career growth. I appreciate the company's investment in training, certifications, and emerging technologies such as AI and automation. The culture encourages collaboration, knowledge sharing, and innovation.

Cons

Compensation can be lower than market rates for certain roles and experience levels. While the learning opportunities and work environment are strong, salary growth may not always keep pace with industry benchmarks.
