About the Company

The info here is the opinion expressed by the class members who attended the interview immedieately after the interview. So take note of this and it might have been affected by One of senior who is working comments or what ever it is.Take this into consideration.)
This is the right royal screwing company you can get in indian
scenario.It seems they put Video Cameras to monitor the moments
of the peopl inside the company.their e-mails will be filtered
and you will be doing only testing.You might have to work minimum
12 hours a day to 14hours a day.No perks or facilities.Work Environment
is good,Salary is less compared to avg.industry standard.Company
stamp is considered to be best.They won't give the details about
their work .Everything is CONFIDENTIAL.In the world
EVERYBODY IS SUSPECT UNTIL PROVED OTHERWISE
for them.They screwed guys in the interviews saying that you people
will be leaving the company.How will you assure us to the contrary?
is their paining repeated question.It seems among 15 persons
in a team in one year itself 10 persons left.That's why i think
they are getting pained.Anyway,If you wanna enjoy u'r self this is
not the company for you.If you want the stamp then yes it is the
company.
