Cons

I worked as FT employee. I worked as Automation engineer in an AUTOMATION TEAM. Unfortunately other team members who don't know basics, were projected as automation team to the client. Program manager when I worked don't know anything and her goal was to get cheap labor. All manual members were projected as automation team. Pgm manager was under the same impression about me too that I dont know anything and came to do automation. She offered me very less salary even I was permanent resident. They advertised 10k more to a h1-b candidate which was very unfortunate. After joining, I guided atleast 6 candidates on a daily basis. I was the ONLY ONE who knows working with frameworks, not even the team lead don't know about automation frameworks and they were doing automation. It was so crazy at that time. They wanted very cheap labor to work. The reason I joined even for low salary was, the scene that happened in the interview time. They projected like they were working on some rocket science technology and I thought that was true and thought of learning some thing. But after joining, on day one I came to know that it was just a makeup that happened and I came out within 6 months. After 3 months, 1 day pgm manager called me and asked that whether I can take up lead responsibility. I asked her about the salary and she said NO, then I asked her about the title. She said NO to that too. But they want to project me as a lead and bill more money from the client. Then I said no for that. Immediatly pgm manager hired a candidate who I interviewed and she was absolute 0 to be projected as a lead.Based on this you decide whether to join or not.

Thank you for your "review" and your "advice." We are an equal opportunity employer and we do not discriminate on the basis of citizenship, race, gender, etc. In fact our only criteria is capability and performance. Also, despite your contentions, your review contradicts itself. On the one hand, you say we are willing to pay more for H1 visa holders and then on the other hand you say we are looking for cheap labor! i am sorry but your review is not supported by factual information. Here are the facts: We pay market competitive salaries based on capability, experience and performance, coupled with performance and annual bonuses. Our benefits are top notch. We have an employee retention rate of over 90% and we continue to outpace our competitors. So perhaps those are the facts one should take in mind and "decide whether to join or not."

Pros

The CEO demonstrates authenticity and a sincere interest in employee growth. Note there was a change in CEO (Saboo is no longer acting CEO)

Cons

*The Chief Accounting Officer (CAO) consistently overrides employee authority and dictates decisions instead of collaborating. *Roles and responsibilities shift without discussion, creating confusion and frustration. *High performers' contributions are minimized or ignored by the CAO. *The CFO promised autonomy at hiring but did not uphold that trust. *Executive leadership communicates poorly and unprofessionally. *Chain of command is unclear, leaving employees caught between two sets of expectations. *Executive leadership does not know how to lead anyone. They were plastered with a nice title and comfy salary. Some communicate/dictate to their teams while others do not communicate at all. Worst team I've ever seen.
