Svantaggi
In simple words to say, if you want to ruin your carrier by yourself then you can join this company. The company will hire you for a position X and after joining the company they will be asking you to do A to Z which will be totally out of scope. No one will give you any KT, from day one you are on your own, if you ask any details or doubts they will be giving some useless documents to read and understand which would be totally a waste of time 1) First and fore most rule of thumb in IDEMIA is “Never ask any questions”, “Never say no to anything”. You are not supposed to provide them any suggestions or advise, they say and you do (Simply a slave attitude) 2) You will be "Jack of all trades, master of none". Even you be a jack of all trades will not be helpful once you leave the company. 3) The place of work mostly will be sitting on the grounds or in the Data Center’s for project commissioning, there won’t be any proper place to sit and work. If you can work in the cold environments like 14 degrees or sitting on the for longer periods then you are most welcome to the company. 4) The top management really don’t care about the people who were working on the ground, they doesn’t even bothered to speak / ask the people concerns or to address their problems they face on the ground. 5) Another sucking issue is there is no team work at all, each team will blame other team for the problems and mistakes and issue will open for ever. 6) There is a weekly time sheet to be filled for the project activities, timesheet estimation were done by Project Managers (PM)’s. PM will not ask the technical persons to understand how much efforts are needed to complete each tasks. If you ask for 8 days they will give you 3 days and too PM will reject the timesheet for stupid reasons. If timesheet were rejected for the week then it means that you have not done any work for the week. 7) Project Managers were bosses here and whatever feedback they give to management will stand for ever, direct reporting managers were just a puppet here and they just to assign the people for the projects to the PM’s 8) Project Managers were another dump persons they don’t understand any technical glitch the engineers face, they will be in their wonder land and commit something to the customer in the meeting and wants us to do even it is impossible to perform. 9) Don’t even think of Salary hikes, whatever you get during the joining will stay as your salary for next 3 years period. 10) Bonus will be only in your papers and you won’t get anything in hand and they have reasons to say that company performance is not well and your performance is not up to the mark. 11) Groupism exit in the company, you will realize them after joining the company. 12) No career growth, you will lose your career
