Pros

This is totally garbage company to work with totally time waste . If someone reason your stupid enough to say yes and recruit yourself(like me) biggest mistake you ever done and they will not hesitate to kill by disgusting msg if you don't obey their words I should say more like a BULLY so at least think a million times before joining as employee

Cons

Management- Absolutely Pathetic .Dictator style of Management that has no idea about his job and keeps bullying and harassing all techincal guys to cover up for the self- incompetency and zero knowledge about how to run the Organization. Few people are given important roles in the office because of their apparent closeness to Management 1) No evaluation methods, they fire people if they don't like your face 2) You may be fired at any time without prior notice beware of this 3) HR professionals are horrible arrogant no respect to employees 4) JOB security is very very low 5) Unproessional people at top level 6) Many more to say but beware of this company,never ever join this hell 7) The technology sector of this company is run by a unprofessional people 8) Like BPO, they do hiring & firing in Technology as well.I have seen more than 9 fired in last 6 months. 9) Leadership does not have correct strategy to make it better, infact its going worse 10) Candidtae having good profile does not even come for the interviews

Pros

-Training to stress test yourself. - Makes your life easy if you wanna punish yourself. - Training for chamchagiri and petty politics on a daily basis. - Refer your enemies into it and you would regret doing that later, knowing their torture.

Cons

- Policies don't mean a thing in this place. - Anyone can be fired at any time. I've seen notice periods vary from 1 day to 3 months based on managements call. Final settlement & relieving letter is on management's discretion. - Salary can be revised at any point of time. Agreements don't mean a thing here. - Managers are very outdated technically and tactically. They are not even good at playing mind games. Every trick they play is pretty obvious, yet muscle their way with the position they have. - Most of them try to project others work as theirs. This is true especially with managers. - General practice is to hire new people for projects. Get some bakra to finish the project, pushing him to this limits. Then they fire the guy and let the idiots(with petty salaries) manage the maintenance work. - There is absolutely no good way to part ways with this company. Management will screw your life while leaving the company. - Company's future in India is doubtful as far as the technical team is concerned. - One should not have any self respect to survive in that environment. I regret meeting the management there. Worst thing to have happened to my life. Nobel peace price can be awarded to any sincere guy working there for more than one years.

Pros

I love the work, Onsite Team is very helpful.

Cons

I am working in Fastenal IDC from almost a year. Work wise OK, company wise OK. But the management is The Real Issue. I was recruited at the time of the Start-Up of the company and have promised me a lot of things. But after completing the year, when asked about those benefits the management has shown me The Middle Figure(Don't mind the words, Understand my Frustration Level). All the details about these Benefits were mentioned in the Employee Handbook and was also communicated to me by the HR at the time of the releasing the Offer and at the time of Joining. I am not concerned much about the benefits that was not given to me, but the way I have been Answered by New HR and Management was very unprofessional, which hurt me a lot. This has happened not just to me but all the Employees who have joined a year ago are facing the same issue. I have joined the company as it is a product based company where there will be huge importance to the Employee, but the Director and Management of IDC doesn’t really care about their Employee. IDC Management doesn't even know ABCs of Management. I have seen some Positive Reviews from IDC employees, Please don't get deceived by these +ve reviews, they are almost kind of PAID REVIEWS.
