Pros

- General benefits are at least comparable or better than similar companies in NCR. - Even during downturns, good performers can get good appraisals. - HR team tries its best to maintain a healthy level of employee engagement. - After years of constant organisational changes and uncertainity, the company has been bought by a very big company that should bring some job security to the engg team. - Work life balance is ok. Employees can take long leaves without too much pushback by managers.

Cons

- Politics and favoritism is rife. Especially in QA - Some incompetent people being tolerated in organisation for years is open secret to everyone but upper management. - Middle management is still bloated with too many managers just tracking status - From dev point of view, quality of work is not good anymore and tech stack has stagnated for past 3-4 years. - Remains to be seen what changes the new company will bring to the organisation in terms of compensation and HR benefits.

Pros

salary is ok. Can get onsite if you pull some strings.Technologies used are fair.

Cons

People in higher management are very bad. Managers are like bullies. They make personal comments and their communication skills are very offensive. Work pressure in the lower level is too much. Leads and above only take interviews and pass the day making fun of others.

Pros

1. Flexi Timings 2. Good salary 3. Knowledgeable tech. people around to work with.

Cons

1. People at higher level are very biased and do favoritism. If you are working good or you know how to butter, then to survive here, you have to have the latter mentioned quality. 2. Very poor management around here. Most of them really don't know how to estimate deadlines of sub modules of a project and then, ultimately make Developers/QA suffer to complete those as per their miscalculated estimated time. 3. HR team is bunch of egoistic maniacs who will go to any extent for their selfish reasons. Very unprofessional. They talk like they are the owners of the company who actually 'run' the company. Rather than selecting employee's referrals, they would go for pvt hiring consultants with whom their commission is attached and seek help from them to get inferior quality of people to come for interview at a lower cost (considering employee referral bonus is pretty big here). 4.No work-life balance. 5.No cab option (cab only till nearest metro stations). 6.Only 15 leaves in a year.
