In some projects employees work for 17hrs and in some projects employees doesn’t have work. There are employees who have been on bench with no work for more than 2 years and their career has gone for ruins. • Role change- Promotions are given in timeline basis though Company claims that it is based on promotions. Most important part is that you have to clear 3 to 4 internal certifications to get your promotion even though your performance is very good. For clearing the certifications you have to go through dumps and learnit all and clear the exam. Please note that certification can be irrelevant from your work. • Work timing-Employees have to maintain timing of 9 hour and 15 minutes yearly otherwise leave deduction or loss of pay is imposed • Facilities- Company deducts Rs.200/- from your salary each month for maintaining the facilities they provide • Leave- only earned leave can be availed, no other leave like sick leave.
