Pros

- Can have work life balance due to flexible work timings - One can work for even 1 to 2 hrs a day and get back home !!! Just swipe in and swipe out is enough...!!!

Cons

- To start with I call it a hub of dirty politics. It's culture is not corporate but more like a government offices - Inefficient and incompitent managers as most of the managers have been working here for ages. - Never ever join this company if you are not from Kerala..!!! English is not the business language here. People don't discuss at least the requirements in English..!! You will have a hard time if you are not from Kerala. - Poor hike and fake assurances are given to candidates who are really good at work. You will get good hike only if you are your manager's pet and provided you are from Kerala only..!! - A candidate with very excellent communication skills are given lowest score in communication assessment but a candidate from Kerala is given the highest score in the same even though he/she is bad/hopeless in communication.This is the new way of filtering the candidates here for VISA processing..!! They make sure that a non keralite will never get the prerequisite score so that their visa never gets processed..!! - They don't have any new customers,please think before you join as there are loads of opportunities to be on the bench with no work..!! - People are hired in huge numbers and will later sit on bench, if you don't get any projects you ll be out soon...!! - No processes are followed in any of the projects. One should randomly pick up any work and complete with minimal info given. - If you are a developer I am sure you will end doing only maintenance job of any project. Nothing new to learn. If you happen to develop something you will have to do it with no background on anything. You will never find any documentation on any of the projects ever...!!! - If you are Business Analyst this is the best company to stick on to, because one need not document any requirements at all just communicate over the call about requirements. Zero documentation with good talking (not communicating) skills required to do the job.

Pros

I've had a positive experience working here as a Lead Engineer. The company provides great opportunities for growth, promotes collaboration, and encourages innovation. Supportive leadership, talented teammates, and meaningful projects make it a great place to build a career and make an impact.

Cons

Can improve decision-making and reduce cross-team dependencies that sometimes slow us down. As business needs change, staying flexible is key, despite the challenges, we enjoy great learning opportunities, supportive colleagues, and the chance to explore and work on great projects.

Pros

UST gave me good opportunities to learn and grow in my career. I got opportunities to work on challenging projects and improve my technical skills. The company recognized my work and gave me chances to take more responsibilities. I got global exposure and the opportunity to work in the USA through UST. I worked with talented people from different teams and learned a lot from them. UST has a good learning culture and encourages employees to improve their skills. The company provides opportunities to work with new technologies and global clients. I feel proud to be part of an organization that is growing and making an impact.

Cons

As a global organization, there are always opportunities to further improve communication and alignment across teams. Some projects can be challenging due to timelines and changing business needs. Continuous improvement in career development opportunities can further enhance the employee experience.
