This company suits neither for a fresher nor an experienced java developer. I'll tell the reasons.
1. If you are hired into the firm from non-software backgrounds in engineering, such as electronics, electrical, etc, you will have a tough time getting adjusted to. They initially hire you for your c/c++ skills, but expect to work in java. For that, they give something called 'training', which is nothing but waste of time. What happens here is : the trainer writes a program on his laptop, you see it from the projector, copy it into your system, execute it , if it runs successfully, Lo! you have completed the day's training ! The rest all associated frameworks like spring, gwt, etc have to be learnt by ourselves by browsing the net. So here training serves no purpose.
2. After your training is over, you will be inducted into a project, months later. But again with an interview. The manager will ask non-answerable questions like 'why you were sitting simply months after the training was over ?', 'you had training, but you seem to be less knowledgeable on java xyz ?', etc. Man, too many interviews here to pass over every stage in the company, even if your job is confirmed.
3. They expect you to start working on the project, using their 'NC Framework'. But never an introduction is given on what the project is, it details, the current status, work done till now, where are we to start from , what is this framework, how it is works, etc. Immediately they start assigning tasks, with due dates too. You are hellbound on what to do, Absolutely no guidance, no mentorship, no tutorial, no training, no documentation on the kind of work you generally do here. You have to literally beg other senior developers who know a little to explain what is going on. They will be busy and you have to jump from one guy to the other. At last helpless, you approach the manager and explain him the situation, he'll respond 'You have to EXPLORE and learn by yourself'. This 'explore' thing doesn't work as simple. It is like telling someone to explain the relation between the characters of a movie, who has started watching it from the second half.
4. Very less java work. All job is done by the NC Framework. Rather than using it to accomplish your task, 95 % of your time will be devoted to 'exploring', analysing and inferring how the framework works, through trial and error, and fixing bugs in the framework itself ! Now, this framework is of nil value once you exit the company, because it is not generic. Even if you have some java work, that will be just editing huge classes written by someone else, before you figure out what the class is supposed to do, where you should introduce your small fix, understand the dependent sea of classes, your due date will be over. We are not supposed to write javadoc too !
4. Next thing is they will throw assignment tickets on your head like garbage. Never an estimation of the employee's capability and experience is gauged before giving the work. A fresher who is just into the project will be given (thrown) a complicated piece of work and blamed for not accomplishing it properly.
You can join this company if you are able to tolerate all above mentioned in the name of 'learning and experience'.
