Pros

Salary on time. Transportation to employees.

Cons

Javelin Program was a very good program for worldwide internal use in G4S. Initially the architecture was very good and good technology stack was chosen. But incapable hands ruin the entire application. It become now like a school projects. Current management is a group of friends they join G4S as a shelter in old age home. They only like boot licker if you oppose them on any occasion it is not a matter how right you are but they will start cornering and disliking you. The funniest thing is RnR ceremony every quarter. It is a circus and jokers are awarded and rewarded that day. The most duffer person would be awarded with Gold price you will laugh literally by seeing the selection. They recognize and give award to their YES MEN and butlers only and expect others to work day and night without questioning. You can grow fast depend how good butler you are. Recently they hire a VP-Engg, he think himself a technology boy. You will be fed up by listening his foolish and bookish ideas whole day. Top is very heavy so everyone here for taking status only. Whole GDC from top to bottom is involved in bug fixing. VP and VPs only care for their visibility nothing else. They are taking backward to tech stack because they are not updated on new technologies. Office timings can be changed anytime on short notice. They can increase office hrs against company policy and no compensation is given to anyone. The fool people think that by changing the timings and increasing the working hrs will give more output. They can ask you to stay back on short notice and no one will care for food and transport. HR is very arrogant and incapable, never interacted with employees and speak very rudely she should be fired immediacy.

Pros

Only pros you will find is the consolation you see with your colleagues also stuck as you are. Subsidized Meal, Free Transport but are you considering retirement?

Cons

Worst company I have ever worked in. I have had the experience to work in 4 other organization I left organizations to grow professionally but at G4S I left to save my career this is the dier fact. Dishonest organization worked at G4S for 2 Years was lied about the work technologies and quality of work when joining but soon I realized it was worse than that with no processes no ability in management to drive a project just a worse organisation to work into . Unprofessional management dire micromanagement strategies . You will be asked to do any work and forced to stretch and work with favoritism ruining your evenings. HR is the worst part of this organization they are dishonest and really unprofessional. They treat employees as the nails on their toe and constantly misbehave if by chance you get into an interaction. Please review your salary annexure it is very smartly drafted to make you miss out on various key elements but still being counted as your CTC and look exciting. (in bold) You must not miss 3 month Notice period. HR will make it impossible for you to negotiate while resigning even after your manager acceptance to let you go. Even in few cases whom they allowed to leave they cheated them while full and final settlement . Do not join G4S is my suggestion you can be at a bad place of work but please do not stop your career and get stuck in this organization it will end your growth and you will lag behind all the competitions. Please go to linked-in have a word with ex-employees of G4s and save your career decision is yours I tried my best to paint the truth and please avoid paid reviews.

Pros

if you are a good politician then this company is good for you.

Cons

if you are working in GDC and you are not strong mentally then you will suffer from mental and health disese. upper management don't know how to run a company. they have more managers then QA and developer they just assign task to you and take the status. most of the principal software developers are engaged in politics and don't do single task. most of the PM's and BA's are just here to assign the task even that task is not related to your team/module and make unnecessary pressure on Developer and QA. 0% from support from upper management.
