Pros

- The learning that glassdoor reviews should be taken seriously - that is the biggest take away (Though beware of the fake reviews which the management asks some employees to write or they even themselves write it!) It used to boast of good peers sometime back but the way it has continued to spoil its culture has made sure that even that is no more true. Everyone is searching out and leaving the company.

Cons

The fact that management itself writes own reviews shows what the company is. More so because a client had refused to continue with them after going through the internet reviews. Horrible culture - micromanagement to the core which runs from top to bottom, you are just another replaceable employee who can be kicked out anytime on slightest of issues like not coming to office on time, irrespective of when you joined or how you performed. Because according to them, they can easily hire your replacement and rather have trends towards downsizing. There was even a time when they forced people send screenshots of job referrals posted in their alumni groups because that’s the trust they have on their own brand. Overall, it truly was some crucial time wasted.

Pros

No pros whatsoever if you are a MBA Graduate

Cons

Plentiful of cons. Let’s start: 1. MBA work = Tracking certification, birthday, software installations, etc. My dear company, people who haven’t tasted the grapes always say they are sour, similarly you guys think IIM grads are the best in tracking. Slow caps! You deserve roadies salute! 2. Technical Certifications: MBA grads with majors in finance, marketing, IT and then they join your so called esteem company. The first few days, you tell them about some shorty technical certifications. Maybe, that’s the only way to tell about your rudimentary gold standards, but trust me, we started cursing you guys from Day 1. It’s always Day 1 here as well, because people cry their destiny that brought them to MAQ. 3. Boot lickers: I would especially bring up this topic. I know this is common in any corporate setup to do some buttering, but here, there are folks who treat MBA’s with utter disrespect. I know that having a degree doesn’t make us great, but surely surviving that degree does make us good enough for managerial work, not for the utter inhuman behaviour. Couple of technical managers in Mumbai, even started a school behaviour, calculating your lunch time and time the guys look at mobile phones, boss trust me you guys are good for nothing. 4. Fake image personified: Having multiple clients ? Having multiple projects ? Dam! You just name 1 good project that you have, you have the worst project in any IT industry. 5. Ridiculous Experience: You will be called on Saturday’s with the CEO mailing you along with taunts, that if you don’t come we will fire you. And what do you do on Saturday’s, you come and watch technical ppt taken by interns who just copy paste stuff and at the end you have to complete an assignment! Slow caps MAQ! 6. Mandatory 9 Hours: Mr. CEO, maybe you come from some production line, where there are shifts, but use your brain for gods sake! You can’t accept people 2 min late and you start calling them and scolding them! Another humiliating stuff. 7. Viva Experience: Imagine a fine morning CEO calls all MBA folks, you expect some managerial decisions to be taken, some strategic decisions, some new streams, some marketing or similar decisions. But what does that self obsessed and narcissist CEO asks you? He would ask questions on the technical certifications! Imagine answering a SQL question and if you don’t answer getting scolded by egotist CEO!

Pros

I was working as a Systems Engineer for the last two years and first of all, this is not a software development role. You will be working as an IT support team member resolving issues and managing the infrastructure, hardware, etc which constitutes 70% of the job. So if you are into software development and experienced then avoid as it is a monotonous job. Here are the Pros according to me: 1. Good learning only if you are an enthusiast 2. Certification Reimbursement policy 3. Bi-annual appraisal cycle

Cons

1. This job is a dead-end for growth as unless you move out or you join the software team (chances of which are very less) you will be working on the same monotonous task forever. 2, The management is not at all friendly as the CEO's mentality is very shallow and for him, we are his servants, so expect stress, extended working hours, and no appreciation from the management. 3. No allowances or reimbursement for PST shifts, Food, etc. You will be working 6 days a week and sometimes they call you on Sunday too, so forget work-life balance. 4. During the interview they will say you will work on the cloud, Power BI, Power Apps, etc but these skills are just 20% of our work, your main task is to install OS, manage hardware, resolve issues of a software developer but for these tasks, there is no recognition. 5. You will regret why you didn't join as an SE1 as you will be paid less and they have better perks At last, unless you are in dire need of a job do not join as Systems Engineer and if you have joined try to move out within 2 years else you will be stagnant there also do not trust the 4-5 star reviews try to read 2-3 star reviews as the tell the real story
