Software Engineer (Developer) (Current Employee) - Hyderabad, Telangana - August 31, 2020

The work life is better balanced than in other companies but the work is boring and the management is sluggish. The payscale is low, hence, not the best place to be in.

A little bit hectic but enjoyable

Summer SDE Intern (Former Employee) - Hyderabad, Telangana - August 17, 2020

Work life balance for an intern is nothing. Intern is expected to do work all day and also as this time the internship was WFH so we didn't get that much learning experience as compared to on-site internship.

Pros

Opportunity to work with really cool and talented people.

Cons

Hectic schedule

Ok ok

Software Engineer (Former Employee) - Hyderabad, Telangana - June 21, 2018

Everything was okayish, but the work-life balance was good. Lots of politics, incompetent management, no proper code reviews or peer feedback, evaluations solely on relationships with teammates.

Slow and outdated

SOFTWARE ENGINEER (Former Employee) - Hyderabad, Telangana - March 5, 2018

I was with Microsoft IT. Most of the applications are 20 years old with no substantial investment in updating them. Most of the time went in bug fixing or resurrecting servers than in actual development.

A great place to settle in

Software Engineer (Former Employee) - hyderbad, Telangana - September 15, 2017

Low innovation rate. Perfect for married people who want to settle into their lives with a comfortable workplace and salary. The company pampers you a lot. Very few times when I felt like I was doing something for the betterment of the people around me. Fewer politics than most Indian companies.
