Pros

This is not a place for permanent employees, this is a contractor oriented company. I really Don't know who the **** gave the reviews for this worst company. I think contractors across the world would have done, I am sure not the indian employees.

Cons

1) Don't Join Optiva India- Reason - if you joining as a indian permanent employee then you will be screwed by contractors(who is getting 50$ or 60$ per hour) who had worked for 17-20 years in a very old project. 2) No team work:- Contractors never help out the Indian employees (to be honest trust me) to understand the product, if they do they may loose the job. 3) Optiva India Head - Joker - He is the worst and cheap guy. He don't have any technical details as he was the most experience guy somehow he landed on this position and screwing the indian employees 4) Indian Managers - All the indian managers are worst 5) Don't join if you are hired for OCE project which is the worst team that I have worked in my IT career. 6)Worst HR and process and leave plan, employee benefits. 7) I don't recommend this company ,they will torture you to join the company and they do offer somethings to you . Please don't fall for it. 8) Very Old Projects not having customers 9) No increments since last two years and they screwed the bonus (variable comp 70% of variable) component saying company did not performed well. Better ask them to deposit the variable component in bank's FD.
