Pros

Unfortunately now there is nothing left in this company

Cons

Management is totally blank, they hire you for some profile & then move you to some other profile with old technology and you do not have option to say no. You have to fight for survival daily. Top performance is no guarantee that your job is secure. They re-evaluate your submitted PE multiple times just to NOT give any appraisal or bonus. Employees are not treated as human. you are expected to work 24/7. Manager or top level bosses have free hand to handle things in unprofessional way and HR create policies to support them.

Thank you for your feedback. As an IT consultancy, we work based on our clients’ requirements. We are glad to have had the opportunity to work with newer technologies at times, we are equally happy that our clients entrust us with projects involving other technologies. When assembling a project team, we select members based on relevant skill sets and availability. While we try to accommodate staff’s preferences, they also need to understand that they cannot always choose the technologies they want to work on. As a performance-driven organisation, we measure our staff’s performance based on their ability to meet business objectives that are pre-determined and agreed upon between each staff and his/her manager at the beginning of each appraisal cycle. Besides the general economic conditions and the company’s performance, salary adjustments and performance bonuses for each staff are also determined by the staff’s performance against his/her pre-determined business objectives. Like many organisations, staff who meet or exceed performance targets are given salary adjustments and bonuses, whereas staff who do not may receive less or no increment and bonus. The cyclical nature of project works results in high and lull periods for all our staff involved in the project, this is inevitable for our industry. While we empathise with them when they must put in extra time and effort to meet project requirements, we are glad they also have opportunities to relax and recharge when their involvement winds down. Internal policies are reviewed from time to time to ensure relevancy and revised when necessary. Revisions could be due to changing operating environments, regulatory or clients’ requirements. E.g., some clients mandate their service providers to include only individuals with certain certifications to be put on their projects, even if this was not a requirement in the past. As a responsible service provider, we must comply with our clients' requirements and support our staff to acquire the needed certification to keep them relevant to the client. This necessitated us to update our internal policies to reflect the change in the operating environment. Once again, thank you for your feedback.

Pros

Decent salary and benefits Some colleagues are alright

Cons

Many decisions made at the top level appear short-term, reactive, and lacking any coherent long-term strategy, which creates constant uncertainty about the company’s direction. Job stability is heavily dependent on project continuity, with little to no protection when projects end or client requirements shift. There have been instances where employees were laid off citing budget constraints, while new hires were brought in simultaneously despite assurances that performance was not a factor. This contradiction raises serious doubts about leadership transparency and actual priorities. More concerning is the recent trend of senior employees leaving the company without having any backup opportunities lined up. When experienced professionals are willing to take that level of risk, it strongly suggests deep-rooted issues within the organization. This is a major red flag and speaks volumes about internal conditions. Prospective employees should be extremely cautious and think carefully before joining this company. HR is pro company (not surprising)
