Process

The interview process sucks. After giving tons of rounds of interviews and providing all my documents, they didn't give an update. After a lot of follow-up from HR, I got a response that the position had suddenly been frozen. They didn't even have the courage to inform me that they had selected someone else, probably for salary purposes.

My only advice to whomever is reading this is to first confirm all the details about openings with HR, and then attend interviews. Otherwise, you will end up wasting a lot of time.

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Pros: Work pressure is not much. Policies are good: food coupons, travel, and insurance are on top of CTC. Pay and appraisal are good. People are friendly. There are many trainings, team events, town halls, meetings, and connects.

Cons: The work or quality of work is poor. Not much offshore involvement in key decisions and projects. Not kidding, you may actually lose your skillset over time. Management is aloof; most of the managers sometimes have no clue about the work the team is doing. Growth is nil. You can be literally at the same spot for a long time. I have seen folks doing the same tasks for 7 years. No onsite opportunities. Your work does not matter; visibility does.
