Business Outlook
Pros
* Well made branding, with base company being Geojit Financial and partnership with BNP Paribas which is a big institution. * No workbench, work is steadily available due to lot of foreign job orders, even from subsidiaries companies of BNP Paribas, etc. * Training sessions, team meetings discussions, and conferences are really frequent. Makes you feel highly involved from day1. You dont feel like a fresher at all. * It's a young company, less employees so much recognition for an individual, even freshers get to meet and discuss with the CEO quite frequently. The hierarchy is almost non-existent. * Brand new green building. Good work enviornment with state of the art desktops and networking facilities. Biometric access systems. Good subsidised canteen. * Co-workers are of immense help, it is like a rule of thumb that freshers must be provided all sort of help by others * 9.30 to 6.30 working time, saturdays are half-day
Cons
* 2 year service agreement (could ask to submit original certificates) * Could ask for Night or Early Morning shifts depending on stock market times. Will not provide transportation * Leaves are scarce, and holidays are rare. Depends on stock market holidays. * Initial salary is not satisfying. I was offered Rs11,000 at the very start which is too small comparing other IT companies. But it is revised every six months. After an year, you also become eligible for some good incentives based on performance. * Learning curve is bit steep, you need to be well versed with all financial market activities as well technical details of trading, stock exchanges, money transfer, etc. It was bit hard for me being an Engineering grad, I have never experienced such terms like "stop loss, span, margin, etc.". They do provide good training for that. * Self-learning is must, they won't provide enough training on the technical aspects, they expect you to learn on your own. If you are not even slightly trained in the technology, I say don't opt for it. * No consideration given while choosing your domain. Even if you are trained in iOS, they could post you in Android dept. No questions asked. All ASE's are supposed to work in any technology they are assigned in. I had initially applied for iOS Developer post, but after joining, I had been placed as C++ Developer for Exchange Connector and Feed Handler dept, which is pretty much the toughest available.
