Pros

You will know the importance of your life, health, me time and your beloved people and especially the good sleep(You will miss this lot)

Cons

This company is filled with cons. I have a little time to write this. So lets make it shorter, 1. These people are great criminals. 2. Their experience certificate has some parameters like poor,very poor, vvv poor,fair, attendance percent, your height,weight etc. It was more than my childhood report card. These parameters are added to make the employees bend and work more. 3. Internal politics is filled in this place. 4. Salary is low. Rs-8000 for a fresher with 2 years bond. [Note - you have to work for 2.6 years. training is for 6 months which will not be included in the bond] Happy huh! 5.Work life balance. What is that?.. You cant leave the office less than 10 hours. Mostly you have to work for 12 or more hours. Happy working days:) 6.The comments above are from management people. They are big liars. 7. This is a heavily blacklist company which shows you are getting in to trouble and flying to few big companies will be a problem. Some big companies don't recruit employees from a blacklisted company. 8. Many employees run away from this company even though their certificates are locked. They will never return your certificates and you cant exit the company before bond expires.

Foremost, we would like to appreciate you for the time taken to write these detailed remarks. We regret your non-constructive experience with us but we don’t have the same opinion and strongly disagree with your remarks We would be keen to address every point mentioned here. We are public certified company and yes, we do have multiple parameters in our Relieving letters that will give a very detailed insight to the employee regarding their performance and will also serve as credentials for their future employment with any organization. Along with fair rating we also have rating ranging from excellent, very good, good and we are never stringent in rating our employees across any factors. We have very transparent policy and all our employees are informed well in advance regarding tenure, salary and other polices of CG-VAK before they join. Any employee who joins us will only do so if they are completely satisfied with our terms here. We strongly disagree with the word Black listed. We still do business with Top International Clients from US/Canada/Germany /UK etc and our people travel to US on long term Visa’s every year. We still have many of our ex-employees working in top IT MNC’s in India and Fortune companies USA. Lastly our Management, Team and employee, at all times try our best to meet each other’s expectation. We do have few firm policies and this is framed only to protect each other interests. With all respect, we hope you would reconnect with us and we shall be more than happy to address any concerns. Thanks Again!!

Pros

CGVAK is a great place to start your career and reach heights. Good learning experience if you are a fresher. Started my career as Senior Developer and currently Project Manager. Put down your best effort and you will be rewarded with exciting growth opportunites. Onsite opprotunities - I have been to Canada twice and currently in US, never thought this would happen in my career. Opportunity to learn new technologies. One of the best and supportive Management. Good work culture.

Cons

Nothing in my 12 years of being with CGVAK.

Pros

I worked for CG-VAK for almost 18 years since my graduation in 1996, the first 11 years in India and the last 7 years in the USA. I moved on from CG-VAK in 2014 due to personal reasons. But I can say without a doubt that this company helped me to groom myself as a professional and to become who I am today. 1) The end-to-end software development exposure you get here will enable you to work in any fast-paced cutting edge technology company in the world. Even the guys who has posted negative reviews here have agreed to this fact. 2) The work environment here is very friendly and people treat you like family. 3) Everyone in the management is easily accessible. They stick to their promises and you need to hold your end of the bargain up. 4) I loved this company for recognizing my efforts. Your growth is unquestionable if you have the right attitude. 5) I felt the salary was on par with any similar sized software development company in Coimbatore. Even if some people say otherwise, you'll learn the tricks of the trade better here.

Cons

Of course there were a few occasions when things went awry and made me feel that I was in the wrong place. But it tends to happen in any such long time relationship. What else can I ask for other than a strong foundation for my career?
