Pros

Interview for security analyst was not that tough.It was handled a panel of 2-3 people Once in the job we get to learn a lot of new things as I was into SOC under a MSSP model New things + feedback from existing things = learning never stops Salary on time Team outings Different teams from different domains exist in UST. All the above are pros

Cons

Cons Do not expect much in hikes which is expected of a service based company A global service based IT company out of Kerala is a huge thing which helps professionals to stay back in the state However certain rigid HR policies such as not entertaining WFH for an emergency period and in short treating both well performing and poorly performing employees equally will bring a loss of talent to UST Managers should try to understand the real potential of his/her team member and then support them accordingly instead of seeing everyone as mere resources on the basis of numbers which in my own experience is happening at other service based companies UST should immediately revamp its web portals hosting its various internal resources. For eg: its alumni portal is being shown as under construction In short UST is an organization which has a lot of potential but needs to restructure its policies based on certain global practices especially its HR side
