      Pros

      Flexible timings Good pay structure Less work pressure.

      Cons

      Racism is too much. There is a big partiallity for non-malayalees. No job security for non malayalees. 3 months you can stay in bench maximum, then you are fired. The above policy is moslty not applicable for mallus. They some how get project, even if they are not talented as nearly 98% from management are mallus. in 2012 nearly or more than 1000(company strength being hardly 6000) got fired due to bench policy,none of them are mallus. Mostly you will be forced to move to trivandrum or kochi after joining, even if you join in chennai or bangalore. Less onsites. Less hikes. Too much importance given to dress code. only formals all days with compulsary ties and plain shirts. company is down sizing day by day, loosing/lost all big clients.

      Pros

      Good place to start a career and gain experience. Managers are available if needed, but hands-off if not.

      Cons

      Pay is OK, not great. The level of responsibility depends on the firm you are contracted out to. It's a launchpad, keep your skills sharp and don't get complacent

      Pros

      The company is already shifting from services to products and platforms business, with the CEO driving the change directly. This transition is visible and is steep. The upside to this transformation is the company already creating meaningful opportunities for people to grow new skills and take on more strategic and value-added work. The key is to lean in and make full use of the resources available, including client universities, hack-a-thons, ideathons, and skill transformation programs, to stay ahead. For internal talent, the opportunities in product, platform development, and consulting are abundant, across both existing offerings and new solutions.

      Cons

      the organization is going through a painful transition unlike anything it has experienced in its 26-year history; while this change is necessary to win in the market, stronger support through the transition is an area where the company can improve and focus.

      Thank you for such a thoughtful perspective. It’s encouraging to hear that the shift toward a product and platform-led organization is visible and creating meaningful opportunities for our USsociates to build new skills and take on more strategic work. Enabling this kind of growth is a key priority for us, and we’re glad to see the impact of initiatives like learning programs, ideathons, and hackathons coming through. We also recognize that transitions can be challenging, and providing support through the journey remains a priority. Your point on staying grounded in UST’s values truly resonates. Our values of humanity, humility and integrity continue to guide us as we evolve. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
