Good Environment, Use-and-throw

System Development Engineer Intern • Former Employee

Hyderābād, Telangana, India

October 11, 2023

Pros: Great environment, nice cafeteria, and great for skill enhancement.

Cons: Extreme workload. They can't work for a longer perspective since they are opting for a "use and throw" strategy for interns. They hire batches of interns and make them do work under unrealistic deadlines in the name of full-time employment, and then don't hire those interns even on the "inclined" decision in the Final Review meeting.
