An extremely employee friendly organization, which does not believe in thrusting opinions on others , rather than works on the policy of inclusion. Good opportunities within the company, employees get time off to participate in training programs & personal chores...salary is not bad either..they continued to pay incentive even during the downturn.

Cons

Somehow folks running the show believe all IIM's & management grads are the best managers, most managers are high on intellectual quotient, but their ability to connect with people at an employee level continues to draw flak from within.

Advice to Senior Management

They should do away with the nomination procedure for promotion, this activity has gotten extremely biased when HR's napping...BPO business needs men & women who can connect with people..mba is a degree & not a mandate.

Pros

Few of managers are really good. Team mates are good.

Cons

Hopeless work environment. Very unfair practices. No one except for few of them would support you for anything. Got to improve upon training areas. Judgment skills, soft skills. Most of them are unsophisticated to unprofessional in office time with juniors. Should work more upon the employee feedbacks and of course take it seriously sometimes. Most of the employees are frustrated and don't feel like coming to office everyday. So, quite boring also one can say. Also you just get to do only the routine job, nothing new to learn and implement or experiment.
