Pros

Company can loot hardworking employees.

Cons

Variable pay policy at UST is set in such a way that they pay you the variable pay for Jan to Jun in October, and from July to Dec in next April. And if your last working day is either a day before 31st October or 30th April, they'll not pay you that (YES, ONE DAY). And that one day is not even in the performance bonus period. Also, if you joined the middle of a performance bonus period, they'll count the number of days you were not a part of the company in the period and reduce the variable pay. To be honest, they're just looting money from their employees. And their HR doesn't even have an explanation to this.

Pros

The company is already shifting from services to products and platforms business, with the CEO driving the change directly. This transition is visible and is steep. The upside to this transformation is the company already creating meaningful opportunities for people to grow new skills and take on more strategic and value-added work. The key is to lean in and make full use of the resources available, including client universities, hack-a-thons, ideathons, and skill transformation programs, to stay ahead. For internal talent, the opportunities in product, platform development, and consulting are abundant, across both existing offerings and new solutions.

Cons

the organization is going through a painful transition unlike anything it has experienced in its 26-year history; while this change is necessary to win in the market, stronger support through the transition is an area where the company can improve and focus.
