1. They take short span projects 2-3 weeks long and expect fresh graduates with no prior training to pick up skills that a developer having 3 years of experience would have.
2. The ‘on the job’ training results in all projects being treated as test beds leading to escalations ALL THE TIME. Escalations are the perfect scare tactic for the interns and freshers working here.
3. Try asking for holidays or mentioning about work life balance and the head of offshore team would treat it as some kind of internal joke and laugh it off. Work life balance does get affected terribly due to the accepted work culture here that employees priorities stack down to the end, client escalations first.
4. Petty issues such as unclean pantry due to late night work are hyped up on the company whatsapp group only to realize that the floor cleaner arrived late.
5. The management is only concerned about their profit margin at the end of the day which is evident in their appraisal meetings where they give highest rating to employees who slog 70-80 hours per week.
6. Last but not the least, god forbid you leave the company, they would send legal notice to your doorstep prohibiting you from working as a ServiceNow developer for any other company citing that you worked as a ServiceNow developer for their company which incidentally is what they hired you for! Its a crazy logic and has a much crazy person behind this idea.
Stay away from this company and for any fresh graduates - please don’t lose hope during your desperate job search and succumb to this company’s tactics. There are better opportunities out there and this is definitely not the one.
Secondary cons:
1. Low salaries
2. No special benefits
3. No holidays for festivals such as diwali, dusshera and only 10 PTOs apart from national holidays (independence day only)
