Pros & Cons
Pros: Has good infrastructure and diverse projects in Banking sector.
Cons: Company makes false promises for gaining projects without considering comfort level of employee and forces employees to work on platforms in which they are not interested hampering there productivity and Career in specific domain.
Very less onsite opportunities to new people as there is no rotation system.
Also substandard payment to OFSS employees than standard Oracle payment worldwide.
Employees need managers personal recommendation for promotions & other opportunities which are not in any ways considered on work basis & are instead based on managers personal views about individuals.
On asking for opportunities management asks you about your skill-set which can only be on paper and cannot be fully developed as no hands on would be provided in any case. Also individuals having good personal touch with managers are considered for onsite opportunities even if they are not trained or even if they work on different domain than what is required.
The appraisal cycle is too lousy and appraisals which are initiated at end of first quarter complete at 4th or last quarter with substandard hike in salary.
Individuals are transferred to other locations as Chennai/Bangalore without consent of employee without giving a thought on the employees side.
