Pros

No pros at all. Its a useless company to work for yet I ended up working for 2.4yrs since what I was working was never known to the outside world and I was not able to convince the interviewers what I was actually working on. I always wanted to work on Java and was interviewed on the same but ended up being the so called "Script Engineer" which is an unusual designation in IT industry and doing some scrap work. They claim to be product based company but what went into making of the product is something which nobody knows till date. Was amongst the first few employees so had a good time at the beginning but as days passed I realized that this is not the right place for developers. But at one point decided to move on and today I am happy with what I am doing. Join as a fresher and leave the company in a year or two to succeed.

Cons

1. Never ask for any kind of leaves. If you ask for, then your so called appraisal goes into toss. 2. If you don't come on a weekend even if you have no work, then you are the regular 9 - 6 guy who does not want to put extra effort to grow. 3. You will get paid peanuts and asked to work for extra hours without nay benefit. 4. You are never rewarded for your talent, if you want rewards then buttering is the best option. 5. Never join as Script Engineer, you will never succeed in your life. If you want to succeed, join as DotNet Developer and move out after an year or so.

Pros

Webcetera is a product based company and have small employee base-as good as just 120!! So, if you are assigned a paramount task,you may become accountable for directly reporting to Directors/CEO. Webcetera deals with "Auto Insurance" & "Home Insurance" - You will get to learn lot of things related to Business Domain which might be useful for you if you are considering to grow in BFSI domain, of-course that is specially related to "Auto/Home" - Insurance.

Cons

Not sure, where to start!!! Because, there are so much to report!! I can easily publish a book cursing Webcetera. Ok, let me give my best shot in expressing my feeling towards this company. Please see below points my friends!! - The worst thing that can happen to you is "Webcetera"!! - Usually Freshers will be offered job bearing the title "Script Engineer"!! - If you are being offered a role of "Script Engineer" - please reject the offer or ask them a project in DotNet. Because the technology which they use is nowhere in sight!! In terms of experience, you won't gain anything - Work culture is horrible. A very non friendly environment!! Even if you use Cellphone they will look at you with suspicion - No respect for members. You will be treated like slaves - that is for sure!! - Hectic work will be showered on you & also you may be called to work on weekend. Interestingly, you wont be paid extra bucks or even won't be awarded any comp-off. Never heard of such things. - Testing team are treated like dogs. No respect!!

Pros

1. Since the company is small, access to senior management is good. 2. If you get into the Dot Net development team as a fresher, you will learn a lot.

Cons

1. They hire freshers offering them the role of a Script Engineer. Their scripts are nothing but config files (XML files). You will simply end up building new config files for their already built codes to consume. You will never learn any Programming and your career as a developer is screwed. 2. Testers are not considered human beings. They are never to sleep or eat. They have to be available to test 24/7. 2. Instead of equipping their employees with latest technologies, they purposely use out dated ones. Just to control attrition. 3. They have work for 300 people, which they try to get done from 120 odd employees. So gear up for a never ending slogathon. 4. Your designation will never indicate the work that you do. This is again their sick strategy to contain attrition. 5. This is the only company on earth where your appraisal depends on organising treks, outings etc.. If you are not into such activities, tough luck, you will loose money. I am not sure if it is even legal to link up an employee's appraisal with some thing which has nothing to do with their work. I can go on and on..
