too much of controlling and not enough freedom to do your work. Not much fun at work place.

Contractor

Business Outlook

Pros

its a different company and always good to get exposure to international community. It is highly RnD and work focussed.

Cons

No fun at work place. The managers sit on contractors heads and peep into their monitors as to what they are doing. There is no freedom for contractors with respect to work or personal space. I wouldnt recommend anyone to work here. Some of the controlling managers are all over you and just want to run the whole show at an everyday level.

Pros

Big, respected telecom player that has connections with all the big fish in the telecom industry. Diversity in the workplace, plenty of Europeans, Indians, Americans, East Asians, Blacks. Plenty of places you can help and jump in.

Cons

Team organization at some levels involves too many people, slowing down response times. Annual 5% workforce laid off, too high!
