Pros

You can only learn excel in this team

Cons

It is not for everyone that the profile offered at the time of interview will be same when you join the company. I was selected for PMO profile but they pushed me to DMO team, where I literally waisted 1.5 years learning nothing but excel. I thought I would switch to different department once I get eligible for interal job posting , but my boss was so selfish that she didn’t support me. When she came to know about my decision of switching, she started doing politics and organised a call with HR where the HR was supporting my boss. The same day I put my resign. I have seen employees in this team working on the same position since 3 years with no growth in salary, designation. I know I am good and hardworking but my boss was blind to notice this. INFRA NORAM DMO is not a team to work with !

Poor Onboarding, No Communication, no one takes responsibility

Pros

On Boarding is done online and electronically. Allowed to update multiple accounts for direct deposit. I was told by HCL recruiter pay was bi-weekly.

Cons

On Boarding is repeated on first day so everything you did prior does not matter. When your on board you re enter your direct deposit and only one account is allowed for pay distribution. Must wait 4 to 5 weeks for first pay. Pay is bi-monthly (15th and end of month). After 4 weeks I still have not been paid.

A Very Bad Company To Work For

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are NO Pros working for this company.

Cons

This company likes to go and buy employees from other tech companies. This is how I ended up here. Its a very bad company to work for. They do not care for you at all... they just like to buy employees from the UK and then after some years they like to move your jobs back to India Do not trust this company at all. You will have no career prospects working at this company, there never give any pay rises at all. They care absolutely nothing for the employees that they buy, it all about profit for this Indian company. Do not work for them or trust them at all.
