My experience with the company has not been positive.
The health insurance provided is relatively basic and not very competitive compared to what many other companies offer.
The work-life balance is poor. Working 10–15 hours a day is often treated as normal, and weekend work is frequently expected, making it difficult to maintain a healthy personal life.
One of the most confusing aspects is the appraisal process. The company has two different cycles:
* **Performance review cycle:** January to December
* **Appraisal (salary increment) cycle:** July to June
Although performance reviews are collected during the review cycle, they are not immediately reflected in your compensation. Employees often have to wait until July to know whether they will receive an increment. This means there can be a gap of several months between your performance review and the actual salary revision.
Another concern is the timing of the appraisal process. July is the month when salary increments are typically announced. However, around June, employees may be moved off projects and placed on the bench. If an employee is on the bench during the appraisal period, they may become ineligible for variable pay and, in some cases, may not receive an appraisal or salary increment.
The variable pay is part of the overall CTC (approximately 10% in many cases) and is subject to company policies and conditions, making it relatively easy for the company to withhold it.
Overall, based on my experience, I found the company's management practices, appraisal process, and work culture to be disappointing. I would advise prospective employees to understand the appraisal policy, variable pay conditions, and work-life balance expectations before accepting an offer.
My final thought is this: wherever you work, you're likely to be part of the same competitive corporate race. If you're going to invest that much time and effort, it may be better to do so at a company that offers better employee policies and work culture. One policy worth considering is the notice period—the company requires employees to serve a 90-day notice period when they resign, while the company will relive employment with only a 30-day notice period. Prospective employees should factor this into their decision.
