Pros

No pros that I can think of while working here.

Cons

1. Managers are experts in micromanaging. They put their part of the work on top of your burden. 2. Compensation is not justified here. People working on client projects get lower raises compared to those working on internal tools or projects. 3. The appraisal ratings you receive here are not related to the actual raise you get (which is much less than what you deserve). 4. There is no comp time available here, even if you work on weekends or extra hours. 5. Clients are not handled properly, which is why they tend to leave and never return. 6. Team lunches are a huge bluff for employees. They never take you out for any gathering willingly. 7. When everyone in your friend circle gets a bonus during the festive season, at Xoriant, you won't get any. Instead, you'll get much more workload during that time. 8. These people will give you HDD laptops, which have mostly been used by 10 or 20 people before you. Don't ever expect these systems to turn on in less than 10 minutes. 9. You'll only get free water, coffee, and tea in the pantry. Nothing else is available for free. 10. Even if your teammates are not in the same location, you are expected to come to the office three days a week, even in heavy rain. 11. The delivery heads don't care about their employees at all. They have this mindset that if one resource leaves, another will come to replace them. That's why they don't care about retaining good resources. 12. If you present your points to someone senior and they don't agree, you can expect to get a 0% raise in the current appraisal cycle. 13. No recognition, no rewards from the manager whatsoever, even if you do your best. The manager doesn't even congratulate their employees for major milestones. 14. HRs are experts at blaming you for your problems. They will never listen to you at any cost unless you are the head of a department or the CEO. 15. If you have problems with your manager, it is expected that you should ask HR for help, but they will just direct you back to your manager. 16. If you are ready for negotiation after resigning, expect them to reach out to you in the last week of your notice period. Even then, they won't agree to what you're expecting and will give you numerous reasons for not giving you the package you want and deserve.
