No Projects. Freshers will be on bench for the maximum of Bond Period
Pros
I don't find anything positive here in my whole two years period.
Cons
Let's put aside the minimal standard of providing Coffee and tea to its employees. This company will loot from you. They asked me 200 rupees to open a salary account, that too in Karur Vysya Bank. Just think of how "professional" the company is. I, unfortunately, missed out the hints and signed the bond. By the way, the bond is for 2 years 10 months and notice period is 3 months. Broadly, your notice period will not start from the time you resigned, the hr team should abide it(for this process negotiations will happen in any company.). But in this company, in the name of negotiations, the hr would not even respond to you for 3 weeks. And your resignation is going to turn into a drama if you are worthy. They won't give you much hike as well as accept your resignation. Obviously, HR should confirm your resignation and then only your notice period starts. Because of this, I’ve personally seen people losing good opportunities in other companies. In fact, the insider talk is they will do it purposefully so that you will take back your resignation. (the HR personally questioned my loyalty for updating my profile in Naukri) Coming back to the freebies, while the company states themselves as a Global M.N.C., they won't provide a coffee vending machine or any alternatives. The reason this point is so much important because the other alternative you’ll get there is the canteen’s chai/Coffee. Man trust me, he is another bloodsucker in the company. He earns more than most of the people in the company. His prices are equal to C.C.Ds and Pizzahuts. And it is the least quality food you’ll ever eat in your life, given from how poor background you’re coming from! You can find insects and flies in his recipes and if you complain or question him, even he’ll intimidate you saying some B.S. If you don’t care, he’ll denigrate you in-front of others. I don’t know why the company management does not eliminate him. The company is settled on a hilltop and either your own vehicle or the company buses are the sole means to reach there. Using company transport, they’ll be charging you. (Many companies do and these people also. There is no doorstep dropping. They’ll drop you in the main junctions. And office timings are from 14.00 to 23.00 for everyone) Now, here is the main catch. The HR’s are as lazy as you can imagine(at least mine). When I shifted to my own transportation, I’ve sent her an email to update the record. But she didn’t. I got a deduction of 500 rupees for around 6 months. Here, what I overlooked is, the payslip won't have detailed instructions of what the deductions are(You have to request for the payslips every month.). Unfortunately, I recognized this after six months only... since I shifted to my bike from the same month when the hike is given, I thought my hike is 500 less. On the seventh month I received 500 extra, then I got a doubt and checked with H.R.(Don’t think bus charge is fair considering the figure, she wrongly updated my area to an area 10 min away from the company. **10 min away -500Rs/month**.) She told she hadn’t updated my details. Subsequently, I asked for a refund, and she told that she can't refund and asked to use bus further for six months. (they won't give you a penny extra). By this time my 1 and a half year is completed and we are all waiting for the bond to be completed to fly. Oh! I forgot to mention, all this time we (a total of 15 members) are on the bench. I don’t recognize why we are moved into that department when there is no project. Still, my colleagues are on the bench there and waiting for the bond to be completed. As I mentioned, the bond is for 2 years 10 months and if you abscond you won't obtain your original certificates. If you resign, you have to pay a hefty amount of 200,000. Fortunately or Unfortunately, they decided to reduce the employee count in the name of cost-cutting, I volunteered to go with an assurance that the company is taking our resignation and not giving any negative feedback for our next companies. They, in fact, took my resignation on a piece of paper. And When asked for acknowledgment, they suggested that they'll give later. I came out, obtained my certificates and searched for a job. I got an opportunity with one of the big 4 companies for more than a 200% hike.(Don't suppose I over performed or something, I just did well. My previous salary is so less, this big 4 offered their minimum pay for freshmen.) This company just did not respond to the Background check mail for some time. Missed my first joining date. Later I compelled them and Miracle told that they responded. I updated the same with the Big 4 hr and they processed my onboarding. A week later, big 4 terminated me stating that my previous company has sent a negative review about me. When enquired, I came to know that miracle gave a statement that they terminated me due to poor performance. Firstly they terminated me stating that we are firing for cost-cutting of the company, and we'll not be affected due to this. And if they terminated me, that should be stated in my experience letter. The explanation here they(Miracle) gave me is, if any prominent companies ask for background verification, they'll give the same they've given now. They literally asked me to search for small companies who don't verify the background. I still don't understand how it matters to them which company I go for? I questioned them why my termination is unstated in my experience letter. And then suddenly they got a concern about my life, "you cant go anywhere if termination is mentioned in your experience letter." is what they told. I want to point out here, the mental trauma almost every fresher suffers there. Just imagine, a fresher should daily come to the office, open a PDF and read, go and repeat the same thing for a total of 2 years. There is no real-time experience of handling a single project work in those two years. If you think I'm a weak performer, the total of 15 recruits also does the same thing as me. All my enthusiasm to work, supporting team, taking client calls which are pretty common in an engineer's life are gone now. I never got a scope there.
