Virtusa reviews

Employees are constantly given the impression that the company doesn't care about them with lay-offs, pay cuts etc. Lack of increments and promotions Unfriendly working hours Cost cutting approaches such as cutting off A/C Internet blocking and privilege blocking of developer desktops block developer progress Too steep hierachy

Worst in terms of salaries and benefits offered.Company is badly hit by the recession since clients are mostly based in US. The company in the past had a good name for treating employees well in terms of benefits,compensation and employee friendly practises,but that is an "once upon a time" story which old timers in the company reminsce about.. (pre 2006) the element of fun is dead.. The senior HR's and management have become dictatorial and the various "processes" which have been started and were suppossed to be beneficial to everyone have become very complex and tedious.These processes have ceased to be an end to an means and have become an "end" in the themselves.None can make sense of them anymore. One cannot expect to learn new technologies and considerable time and energy is expended by employees in completing useless certifications.. these are of no value to the employees but are suppossed to be somehow enhance company standards... There is no work/life balance and long hours are to be expected. Hikes are poor,and literally no onsite oppurtunites.Even those who manage to goto onsite are squeezed every inch and complain of gruelling work. Only those in billing can take their job for granted and everybody else is on firing line.. People with skills in high end technologies like ERP or Data warehousing are better off keeping away from this company. Those expecting good salaries,hikes,onsite oppurtunities and any benefits are better off looking elsewhere as these are non existent. This is overall an company where those who have been recruited as beginners tend to stay on due to loyalty... there is some job security for these beginners.... attrition rate is very high among laterals.dont join unless u dont have an option...
