One of the worst places to work

Pros

Once you have finished working here you will know exactly the things that you do not want from your employer, manager in future.

Cons

Anyone joining this place should know a few things 1. You should be willing to learn one of the most outdated technology called webplus. To be honest they will give you a copy that floats around in the office. Once you have webplus on your resume only god can save you for there is a real world out there. If you do get your head around it be prepared to understand all the technical jargon from the energy sector and use it like a pro. 2. Pray to god that you don't get this guy as your manager because he sure will make your life hell. Yelling at his colleagues, speaking wrong of them behind their backs, mocking them in public is what defines him. 3. Their annual bonus is a joke. 4. No internet/wifi usage inside the office on your phone. Well to be honest (give credit where its due)they do let you use an hour's worth of internet spread out in a day. 5. 8:00 am (sharp) to 5:00 pm rule, 1 hour lunch rule, no hanging around in the break room rule !!

Pros

Job security. You can possibly be the dumbest person on earth, but you will never get fired.

Cons

- Strict timings. If you don't reach by 8:00 am , you will get an angry automated email telling you that you have committed a sin. You commit 3 such sins and the email goes to the CEO. Unfortunately, for the few who really wanted to work, we worked until 6 or 7 pm almost every day with no recognition. - By far the lowest compensation packages in the software industry. - Horrible business practices: Hire absolutely unskilled labor (who have no background in Computer Science) at exorbitantly low compensation packages, make them write pathetic code that goes straight to production, train the people for a couple of years until they become good developers only to find that they eventually quit. - Snowstorms, thunderstorms, hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones: Irrespective of what the weather is like, you cannot work from home. Note: You are expected to work from home but not get paid. - There are more managers than developers in a software company. I have often had to receive instructions from up to 3 managers at the same time asking for different things with the same deadline. - Most people work on technologies that are obsolete. Hugely impacts your career. TRUST ME. - If somehow you get the thing that you deserve (recognition)(highly unlikely), your manager will make it a point to rub it in on you for the next 2 years until you admit that he or she did you a favor
