Where do I start :
1. False promises from HR - joined as Tech Lead .Regret the decision till now.HR will promise a lot of things.Don't fall for salary trap.You won't have a team under you if you join as a tech lead.You will be working on their tool throughout your tenure here.
2. Late appraisals - The appraisals will take 15 months to take effect. you will lose 3 months or a quarter to their tactics.This is companies first year in Pune and appraisals were supposed to be effective in July.No information about appraisal yet.No intimation about the delay to employees.Appraisals delayed by a quarter(i.e. 18 months from April ) in their Bengaluru and Hyderabad offices since a few years
3. Admin and Facilities-- The guys don't even have proper housekeeping staff and basic necessities in their toilets/pantry, Old worn out tempo traveller instead of cabs.Pick points far from home (good joke).If you are lucky might be near your home,
They height was their ANNUAL FUNCTION organised in May'16 in a rented cafeteria with non-AC facility where everyone was sweating.Can you believe it is a MNC !
4. Promised me snacks and cab provided by company -No such services.Coffee machine dispenses froth.No canteen. Sometimes they run out of toilet papers and tissues.No tissues in pantry.Worst facilities in my decade old IT career across reputed and small scale companies
5. Unprofessional Environment- You will most likely be assigned to Russian manager who struggles to speak English and communicating would be the foremost challenge.Mostly you will be sitting idle or doing a freshers job.The Russian management/managers are incompetent and expect you to do freshers job.No help or support from them as they struggle with language and the technology and basic work etiquettes. Highly unprofessional environment..
6.TECHNICAL SUICIDE for fresher and mid level - You have to work on their tool called Netcracker and no technology exposure.You will end up forgetting everything and be good for nothing when you are out of here.
7.Dictatorship and slavery under Russian management -- If you join,you might experience what life was under British Raj. Indian management is a slave and puppet to Russian people.Don't be surprised if you see a decade younger Russian leading a 10 year + experienced guy in their Indian offices.
No career growth.No equal opportunity company.
Lastly,if you have any doubts and still want to join,ask any employee who joined the organization at least 6 months ago.You will get your answers.
