Business Outlook

Pros

Fixed hours of working - if one wants

Cons

1. No technical growth. Only maintenance type of work. 2. New joinees are mislead. one offer letter will be released, but on day of joining the salary figure is changed. 3. Senior Management is technically very poor - they only want to play politics 4. HR department is not good. All engineers are treated like slaves. 5. Hikes and ratings totally based on how much management likes you - not at all related to work or talent. All process is modified to make fools of engineers.

Enormous potential energy and creativity in the organization, though difficult to harness

Business Outlook

Pros

This was an excellent working location, with very experienced resource in both technical and non-technical areas. Multinational exposure was an added bonus.

Cons

In my opinion, it appeared difficult to get move anything forward at speed. There appeared to be significant 'pushback' from experienced resource who had been with the organization for quite some time.
