Pros

Good infrastructure and canteen facilities and leave options

Cons

• Most of the employees are being hired from tier-3 college with no tech background and you end up feeling stuck with bunch of incompetent people. • The incompetent management knows nothing about your work and they are full of Bengali people from WNS and they have created a nexus so that they can promote their own breed. They can't even speak fluent English. • Favorite people are only promoted. • Everyone want to reach TL position so that they can enjoy TL salary band. • Work is mostly support work except a data science team which comprises of 2 senior Data scientists. These data science people develop algorithms and pass onto the other teams for regular updates. • This is the kind of work you can expect. Performance reviews are mostly a joke. Very less difference between hike and promotional hike. • If you can sell your work in the eyes of management by taking sessions, you will get 3% extra hike. You just have to spread your "innovation" like a virus. • This company is best for retirement type of work and nothing else. Senior (old WNS people) will pull you down due to their own job insecurity

Pros

Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

Cons

Unstable schedule where you are often asked to come in overnight (1-2 am) regardless of if you have worked the previous day or are off. Basically feels like you're permanently on-call to conduct environmental monitoring. Training is slow. The Micro dept in general is currently understaffed. The job also involves lab work once you are done with your daily environmental monitoring tasks. The work never ceases and the Technicians as a whole has several responsibilities. Promotions seem to come very slowly here.
