Pros

Pros: - Engaging work with a US-based client - Pays the salary on time

Cons

- Inefficient appraisal process and low raise offer - Unwillingness to facilitate direct hiring by the client - Lack of response from management after resignation Will not recommend if you are not from Kerala, upper management is a total waste. It was a contractual work to a US based MNC no interaction from UST side, but when the client wanted to hire me directly they kept on going in a loop asking extra money every time, this went on for a month then the client was fed-up and didn't proceed further. UST was not even bothered to give a decent raise (less then 5%) even though the client was so happy with the effort and was willing to hire me directly. Even after tell the management the sole reason for resigning was because of the appraisal they never contacted me once after multiple attempts of me asking the same. Would never recommend this company which doesn't think even once about the employee.
