Pros

benefits, retirement plan, and you find supportive people internally from other departments, development events and PTO is a plus!

Cons

management is horrible! the leader from my department is not very supportive and the work environment is not friendly nor caring about or development. unfortunately, is very hard to move to another position, because there is a lot of lack from support from the leader. Also, from my personal experience, I LOVED the company and really did put a lot of effort into my work and everything and it was NOT appreciated. So, overall a big lack of understanding and support from leader.... gossip and terrible work enviornment and felt bullied!!!!

Pros

Good benefits overall. Lots of opportunities to change jobs within the company.

Cons

Salaries are not the greatest relative to other similar employers. The company is too large and bureaucratic to adapt quickly to changes in its environment. Management was out of touch and resistant to new ideas.

Pros

-Work life balance is something you can find in PGS India -Cab services is good. Don't have much to share about this company.

Cons

- Management is very old thought - they keep on taunting for what you wearing. -People there more focused towards other people life and day to day home activities instead of work. That's really funny - Are you here for gossip it was shocking for me. -Selection procedure is worst, they take 4 rounds of interview and select GEM, but when that GEM joins company he will find very less quality work of his level. Company is still growing in India even after 8 years of completion. -According to Policy, we cant share our rating and hike which we get on annual basis..Good Rating people gets less paid and other gets better hike on the name of NORMALIZATION ?? Are you really serious ? Very Demotivating Environment. -PGS is work under Home Office and its clearly visible that HO people dont trust much on Indian teams. so we usually get Labor work and good work was always taken by HO Teams. - Lack of Trust to Indian Teams. -I think Management should make environment free for youngsters - Freshers feels very suffocated in between old people of PGS -They are very narrow minded. -History says that PGS started with 6 to 7 People and now these people became managers and seniors management in 8 years which doesn't brings quality in system instead less qualified people at higher level make system more inefficient. PGS need to think from different perspective.. They need to recruit good management students and people from outside who can give you more detail enhancement in system.
