Pros

Good hike, but because you get a hike, they give you 0% hike in the year of hiring, you get subsidized meals thrice a day.

Cons

Recommended - Strictly NO, ACS is the worst team Nature of job - glorified BPO, you answer emails and phone calls Type of support - Their product is a broken software with no user manual, developers don’t know what they developed Average work hours per day - 12-14, high pressure job Company attrition - Very high, caused by non structured work, resulting in unstable teams Knowledge retention - Non existent, because when someone leaves, they don’t document what they know Typical day - Queue flooded with tickets, complex in nature, some are urgent, You will not even get time to have proper lunch on most days. Training process - no structured training, you are just thrown in water with minimal training Process efficiency - Very poor, no SOP document You are dependent on others to help you, others are as clueless. And then you waste days and weeks to figure out what needs to be done. Work Life balance - extremely bad, you are asked to work on weekends with no comp off or allowance, people take sick leaves frequently. Project work - No scope as you will never get time from your BAU, they don’t even know what a Project really is. Scope to learn IT skills like Python / power BI - NO

Pros

Lots of client exposure Learning unique products Aladdin

Cons

Too much politics in the team. Nobody stays for more than 2 years. Also they like you as long as you do their job. The moment you ask for a raise or a change they immediately intentionally make your life difficult
