Pros

Have not come across anything till the last survival day in costrategix -

Cons

I come up with lots of expectations and growth, but when i joined this company i got a feel of govt office. people with no formal communication/attire/no response to the mails from management to lower levels. So my request to all the people/candidates - please do not join this company just because of colorful website and videos. Don't regret by joining this company like me because i was their hardly for 8 months could not bare the culture and micromanagement people - they call this as the process. "i have seen when a person/employ resigns - Management will spread a BAD News/rumors about the resigned person saying that - "HIS PERFORMANCE IS NOT GOOD" - so why did you hire such person and blaming behind. People at TOP are always a double stranded in this company - don't believe them blindfold. "Observed few candidates run away post joining this organization"

Pros

Note - Just Ignore 5 star positive reviews, most of them are recommended/written by HR team. About CoStrategix Technologies (Bangalore office): - Client First, Process Second, Infrastructure Third.....Employee Last. - Learn, Work & Leave. No Professional Growth bcoz It's runs like a FBB (Family Based Business). - Strongly recommends for freshers & young professionals(1 to 2 years); Who are keen to learn and grow. - Doesn't recommends for the professionals from MNC's and no scope for Testers & Mobile developers. - No predefined process. Process can change according to the Project conditions. - New Policies (like coding Structures, OOPS concepts, Unit testing) are roll-out every quarter but hardly followed in client projects. - Notice Period is now 3 months (recently changed from 2 to 3 months & No buyout option also). THINK Twice before joining CoStrategix. - Once upon a time, CoStrategix was very well known for PHP technologies but now no PHP projects. Props:: 1. Projects are good & challenging to learn. 2. Open culture environment. Everyone in the hierarchy can be easily approachable. 3. Flexible timings but mandatory 9 hours. 4. Opportunities to learn & work on multiple technologies. 5. Food & cab is provided in late working hours. 6. Work from home policy. 7. Employee Insurance is provided. 8. Metro is accessible.

Cons

Cons:: 1. Very poor in project management, resource planning, project estimatation. (Agile is not followed always) 2. Developers are treated as actual resources like a thing without soul & mind. 3. Most of the managers doesn't knew anything about SDLC. How to Plan & execute the Project, Architecture, Solution's, Estimation, Deployment strategy, Quality strategy, Team management? etc., they simple follows the general manager instructions & pass on the same to team members & strictly follows calendar dates from delivery team. Just like academic way of project execution. 4. Unfriendly HR team - Most worst HR policies, They can change the policies anytime without any intimation - just by sending a mail in working hours mentioning it as per IT standards. (Idea behind is to hold people from leaving the company) 5. HR will hire for some technology and ask to work in other technologies. 6. Appraisal are very less. No matter how much work you do?? Hike amount is fixed for all. 7. No promotions - There is no such policy in CoStrategix. If they feel, they will promote else No Promotion, Performance is totally ignored. 8. Attrition rate is very high (especially developers are leaving). Mobile teams got almost vanished. 9. No Code Reviews, No work life balance, No compensation is given when you work on projects in weekends. 10. Appraisal/Reviews are always delayed by one month every time. 11. No Job Security - Employee can be FIRED anytime if under-performed. 12. No Employee Independence - Managers/HR is always forcing employees to present tech talk, write tech blogs, attend sessions/events by taking the attendance by HR team member irrespective of project conditions or interest or relevance. 13. PRACTICES - Employees are set with high expectations without providing training/ proper guidance/road-map plan/resources to practice team members. - Again ignoring the project constraints & also employee should take out his/her personal time to do all this kind of work.
