Pros
UST actively explores new roles and career opportunities, including the Forward Deployed Engineer program, and supports employees in developing the skills required for these emerging areas. This initiative, led by CTO Niranjan Ramsunder, reflects the organization’s focus on preparing employees for future-facing roles and helping them grow beyond traditional delivery responsibilities.
Chief Innovation Officer Mathew Kuruvilla has also established an impressive Experience Center that clearly showcases UST’s capabilities, solutions, and approach to innovation. It provides a tangible way to demonstrate what UST represents and how the organization brings together technology, experience, and business value.
These initiatives are supported by the broader direction of the leadership team. CEO Krishna Sudheendra’s vision has helped create an environment where innovation, employee growth, and new ideas receive meaningful backing. His leadership enables teams to explore new areas, build stronger capabilities, and translate ideas into initiatives that create value for both employees and clients.
Personally, UST has given me the freedom to explore the areas that interest me most, particularly virtual reality and immersive solutions. I started my professional journey here, and it has been a wonderful experience working with supportive teams and leaders who consistently place empathy first.
Cons
As UST continues to introduce new initiatives and career opportunities, creating more structured ways for employees across different teams to discover and participate in them would make these programs even more impactful.
