Pros

No such pros as compared to other MNCs. My experience had been quite average, a mixture of good and bad.

Some of the pros I would like to mention here:

  • After restructuring the salary structure, I was paid fairly as compared to other friends who work in different MNCs.
  • If you are lucky, you can get a chance to go onsite within 2 years into the organization. This depends on the project, though.

Well, that's all of it.

Cons

There were many cons also which I have experienced or I have seen my colleagues experience. I would list a few.

First of all, they ask you to re-skill yourself with the latest technology, but when eventually someone does that, they will not give you a project related to the domain you gained expertise in. (Even if you are on the bench, forget this scenario if you are already tagged into some project. Then they will never let you go, even if the work is monotonous and your learning curve is diving).

From my experience, there are very few good projects available where you work on the latest technologies.

After you re-skill yourself and finally approach your resource management group to find a project in your expertise, even in any location, the reply you will get is, "This is not how it works; you will only get projects based on what you have been working on." So, suppose you have been working on a support project, and after the project got over, you thought of re-skilling yourself and aspire to join a development project. Here, you cannot do that.

Along with that, if the RMG fails to deploy you in any project, they will literally give you 15 days to find a project for yourself, or else you are forced to sign your resignation letter.

Well, I think that's enough to give it a thought.

Advice to Management

Please work on the resource management policy and give a chance, at least, to those who have the skills.
