Cons

I found many issues, and a few are as below:

  1. No work culture.

  2. Nowadays, the new trend is "testing." They have many levels of tests, and if you are unable to clear them, you might lose your job. The tests are not relevant to your work at all. The testing level is like you are working for "NASA."

  3. The origin of politics is rating. They have annual ratings for employees from 1 to 5 (1 is best, 5 is worst). For that, they need to maintain a bell curve, which results in around 25% of employees falling into ratings 4 & 5. The end result is no hike for those employees, and they have a maximum of 2-4 months to get a new job. HR will start asking them to search for a new job, and they will be thrown out of projects. Though, if you get a 1 or 2 rating, there is no issue at all. If you are a new joiner, you have fair enough chances to get a 4 & 5 rating.

  4. No work-life balance. You have to complete 8.30 hours inside the office. Not doing this will affect your salary. So, whether you have work or not, you have to be there in the office.

  5. Management is not so effective (both Indian and Korean).

  6. No new technologies to work on.

  7. The current environment of the company is - most are trying to get a new job outside or preparing for tests. No one is interested in work.

  8. Engineers have the least value.

  9. Most employees are working here due to NCR, as they have homes nearby. Apart from that, there are no reasons, including mine also.

Advice to Management

Introduce some better policies.

No to try how to irritate individuals.
