Open Access Technology International reviews

There are several cons and its really hard to summarize it so I will try to put up the worst points: # Absolutely no flexibility at work. Strict 8-5 working hours with 1 hour lunch and when I say 8-5 that means 8:00:00:00 to 5:00:00 so you cant skip a second , else be prepared to be humiliated by the management. # Managers with no management degree or experience. # Low salary and poor /No appraisals. # Ancient tools for developers to work on, No IDE, no automation in testing, no QA proces, no coding standards, no SDLC. # No product training for new employees, # No documentation whatsoever for any product or tool being used. # Company doesn't believe in investing in Employee skill development. # Poor infrastructure , outdated hardware, no phones, small monitors,no laptops, # Limited and basic benefits. # Time off policies are ridiculous, No sick leaves or unpaid PTOs. # Policies are not unanimous among all employees. exceptions are made based on favouritism. # No motivation or encouragement in any form for the teams. # Nobody cares about how much you work, only care about if you are in office before 8 or after 5.

#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.
