Pros

It paid the bills for me for over a year before they decided to release us and let their folks in India and the Philippines take over. Benefits were ok and they basically matched what we made with our previous employer.

Cons

Terrible management. Had broken promises and flat out lied about many things. Bonuses were late at least once. Many of us went over to them after our company, like a good neighbor, laid us off so that they could outsource their IT to HCL. They didn't want us, they just needed us to run the desk while they poorly trained their overseas folks. They didn't care about the quality of work, just that they answered the calls. In some cases, overseas reps would just either hang up or send them back through the queue for us stateside folks to handle.

Pros

they pay you salary so i guess that's a pro?

Cons

typical desi run company, always late in paying "bonus", and yearly raises (basically hoards the money they owe you as long as they can), happens every year for the last 5 years I was with the company. Honestly they need to pay back interest for not paying on time... If they ask you for something, its always last minute and always urgent needs to be done asap, if you ask for something it can takes days weeks, and sometimes months to get what you need, but that's totally acceptable. in order to get something approved must go through 18 layers and signatures. doesn't care about employees, only clients and themselves.

Pros

- Vendor Certifications are a plus.

Cons

- Poor HR everything relevant to our roles has always been out of their scope. - HR loves to take things personal and create a fuzz out of it and doesn't even listen to things from an employee perspective. - Some managers expect you to be there at work no matter how critical your personal circumstances are. - Employees are not being valued or paid based on their skillsets or experience all are being underpaid below the market rate. - Less opportunities for growth and no compensations were released on time, Cycle ends in first quarter but then again none of the employees were paid a hike to this date. Even if there is a hike the highest it can go is up to 3% even though they say they are gonna give from 7% - 15% in front of the whole world. - An epitome of labor exploitation. - ZERO work-life balance you might as well get a call at midnight and will be asked to present a meeting if not your performance ratings get affected. - Could be a Top Employer / Great Place to Work to market the brand with awards but this is the "WORST PLACE TO WORK". If you are looking for a place to grow then this isn't one!
