Job Requirements
I believe the minimum requirement is a degree from a four year
graduate program (translates to engineering) or a Masters degree.
Campus recruitments are far easier to get into the organization
than walk-ins. They stress a lot on learnibility. So, it helps if
you show that you're open to learning new and nascent
technologies as the situation demands
|
Uppers
- Open and Friendly Environment
- Actual development work (Not a back office. Then again, it depends on the
project)
- Strong Project Management processes. Skills I picked up there are still useful
and have impressed future employers
- Good training programme
|
Downers
- Compensation
- Socialist attitude. Nobody is fired but for moral shortcomings.
Hence, underperforance is largely tolerated, which can be
frustrating if you're in a team environment
|
Lifestyle
Work Hours: 22 days * 8.5 hrs (Somewhat flexible)
Business Travel: An onsite trip is almost guaranteed in a stint of three years
Social events: Limited. There is a quarterly project party if you're in a
project. However, no alcohol on company tab
|
Compensation
At the time of severance, I had about Rs.310,000 as gross pay.
The company is very prompt in returning retirement benefits
(Provident Fund, Gratuity, UnPaid Bonus) once you leave the
company
|
Advice to Jobseekers
The company is still very good although the rate at which they
are recruiting is a bit daunting. It is the best place for your
first job or if you want a job that's secure. However, if you're
up for a challenge, try elsewhere and return when your hair
starts greying
