Pros

Unfortunately now there is nothing left in this company

Cons

Management is totally blank, they hire you for some profile & then move you to some other profile with old technology and you do not have option to say no. You have to fight for survival daily. Top performance is no guarantee that your job is secure. They re-evaluate your submitted PE multiple times just to NOT give any appraisal or bonus. Employees are not treated as human. you are expected to work 24/7. Manager or top level bosses have free hand to handle things in unprofessional way and HR create policies to support them.

Thank you for your feedback. As an IT consultancy, we work based on our clients’ requirements. We are glad to have had the opportunity to work with newer technologies at times, we are equally happy that our clients entrust us with projects involving other technologies. When assembling a project team, we select members based on relevant skill sets and availability. While we try to accommodate staff’s preferences, they also need to understand that they cannot always choose the technologies they want to work on. As a performance-driven organisation, we measure our staff’s performance based on their ability to meet business objectives that are pre-determined and agreed upon between each staff and his/her manager at the beginning of each appraisal cycle. Besides the general economic conditions and the company’s performance, salary adjustments and performance bonuses for each staff are also determined by the staff’s performance against his/her pre-determined business objectives. Like many organisations, staff who meet or exceed performance targets are given salary adjustments and bonuses, whereas staff who do not may receive less or no increment and bonus. The cyclical nature of project works results in high and lull periods for all our staff involved in the project, this is inevitable for our industry. While we empathise with them when they must put in extra time and effort to meet project requirements, we are glad they also have opportunities to relax and recharge when their involvement winds down. Internal policies are reviewed from time to time to ensure relevancy and revised when necessary. Revisions could be due to changing operating environments, regulatory or clients’ requirements. E.g., some clients mandate their service providers to include only individuals with certain certifications to be put on their projects, even if this was not a requirement in the past. As a responsible service provider, we must comply with our clients' requirements and support our staff to acquire the needed certification to keep them relevant to the client. This necessitated us to update our internal policies to reflect the change in the operating environment. Once again, thank you for your feedback.

Pros

Some staffs here use their working hour to chat on whatsapp for their personal matters and coffee chats. If you see 1 male and 1 female colleagues are not at their desk at the same time: They are having coffee chats. You can come in and leave office on time and use working hour to chat. What does a female and a male do when they often chat on whatsapp and have many coffee sessions? We go to work to make revenue increase or revenue lost?

Cons

Be effective at work and be a good role model

Pros

Not that I can think of.

Cons

The HR manager make things more complicated than needed most of the time, too much office politics. HR team needs a lot of improvement. If a manager has always been in a company and never experienced elsewhere I am not sure what inward contributions are there and how that could actually last so long.
