Netcracker Technology reviews

Disclaimer : Below cons might not be applicable for all the project. I am writing this cons as per my own experience being a java developer. 1. They have their own proprietary framework and most of the development will done using that framework. In some cases you might be simply doing customization from GUI which they call development work ;). In that case you wouldn't be even touching the code. Simply do some changes from GUI, export it in from of XML and commit. That's it. your so called development work is done. 2. Most of the product development works are done by Russian counterparts. In Bangalore office they are mostly doing customization on top of the product developed by Russians. 3. Bangalore office is fully driven by Russian Counterparts. 4. Indian Managers are only for namesake. They don't have any control and authority over the project and project resources. 5. Depending on the project you may face lots of micro management. In some project Russians will ask you for hourly update. 6. Take lots of time to get allocated to a project. When i joined, i was their in bench for 3 months and when my project got over it again took more then 3 months time to get allocated to another project. 7. For getting a project you need to give interview to Russians. If they will find you suitable for the project then only they will take you into project. 8. In some cases you will be working on a project without getting project code for entering in your time-sheet which is as good as sitting on bench because you will not be having project code for entering into your time-sheet and you will not be billable to client which is risky 9. In some project work life balance can be pathetic.

Extremely high workload which makes work/life balances a challenge.
