UST Senior Informatica Developer reviews

No Personal life. If you are working in project then get ready your manager can call you anytime in the night to come to office Don't expect any growth. If you are looking for growth, better not to expect. One of foolish rule.....to wear tie everyday..... Rule are only applicable to boyz not for girls. Gals can wear anything they want but boys should wear tie or face HR meeting. Worst Bench Policy. No company has worst bench policy. First they will hire you and you only need to find the project. RMG people will not help you. if you are not able to find project get ready to fired. You won't be getting hike but they will spend 30 crores for CSK 3 year contract. If you got low rating better to find another job else one day HR will call you to put down paper and if you resist they will blackmail you that they will give bad feedback to next company you join. this is true because this thing happen with friend.

Bench Time - Accept they project they give else put papers in 45 days(Proof: It came in newspapers as well) Performance Grading - Limited grades to each account so even if you are well performing you wont get good Grades, it will go to some pet's only. Appraisals - It is supposed to happen by Feb so that hike can be given in April sal but it will happen only in April or May so hike will be in Sept or Oct Hike - Its a MNC so nothing much, usual 10-15% but wont get soon, it will take 5-6 months. Variable pay - its calculated based on a formula, your performance x account performance x companies performance. Anytime you see the internal office mails or events of UST you will notice them bragging about companies they acquired, cricket/football/awards shows they sponsored, new clients, new hiring and a whopping growth of 50-80% each year in terms of revenue but when it comes to giving hike or variable pay company is under loss. So even if your grade is good still your variable pay wont be full. Variable Payout - It is supposed to be given in March but dont make any plans depending on it. coz in the last week they will come n say, boss, we wont be giving it this month n dont know when we will give it also. You will get it eventually after 3-4 motths Promotion n Onsite - If you are Manager's pet you will get it in 6months itself else they will show policy saying you have to spend two years to become eligible for it. Basically forget about these things. Transfer - According to their statistics, if over 75% of the employees quits in less than 6 months if the employee goes to any place other than Kochi n TVM. so you are stuck in TVM or Kochi only. If you want transfer, quit company Language - Even in meetings(internal/onsite) they will use Malayalam. It doesnt matter if there are people who dont understand Malayalam. So if you dont know Malayalam you will feel its better to go for lunch n tea breaks alone coz they will never speak something that you will understand. Politics - This is Very High, as high as the Mount Everest. They will use you a scapegoat to fill their ego's. Beware of this. Policy Changes - They will just notify you that things have changed, wont ask you. Some of them were, no cellphones, no internet, no office mails/ chat messenger, Delay in Variable pays/ salary, and everything that is needed for the employee.
