Pros

I have been working with UST for last 2.5 years. Employee friendly company. Great Work Life Balance. Flexible timing Very lively and friendly employees. Job Security for Permanent employees Ample training on new technologies If you are proactive u can get exposure in different technologies Great for Freshers, u can get lot of learning. Probably the only company which has not fired employees during 2008-9 recession(recession free !! ) Lots and lots of co-curricular activities( fun time yeahhh !! ). Flat hierarchy( Very approachable management ) I am optimistic that after 2 years or so company is going to be a recognized name in IT sector ( UST is on a verge of explosive growth due to its geographical presence in various countries.) hike is based on performance basis ( ok types yearly hike around 9-15% average )

Cons

Regional/Mallu favoritism at all levels really polluting the work culture. Sometimes give very late joining for freshers. Frequent changing HR policies. Very very less onsite opportunity if you are not from South. Main work location is trivandrum. Not at all good for Contract employess(contract employees better watch it !! ) False promises by top management related to culture and values.

Pros

The company is already shifting from services to products and platforms business, with the CEO driving the change directly. This transition is visible and is steep. The upside to this transformation is the company already creating meaningful opportunities for people to grow new skills and take on more strategic and value-added work. The key is to lean in and make full use of the resources available, including client universities, hack-a-thons, ideathons, and skill transformation programs, to stay ahead. For internal talent, the opportunities in product, platform development, and consulting are abundant, across both existing offerings and new solutions.

Cons

the organization is going through a painful transition unlike anything it has experienced in its 26-year history; while this change is necessary to win in the market, stronger support through the transition is an area where the company can improve and focus.
