ShellSquare Software Quality Analyst reviews

Let me be clear about my experience in this company from interview till the last day! I got a call from the HR immediately after applying for the job in Technopark job portal and had a quick discussion regarding my details. I had informed then itself that I have 3 months notice period. They said that's OK and conducted two rounds of the interview. After the interview process, they said I cleared all the rounds, but notice period is a concern. After that no communication for two weeks. They called again after two weeks and told that they are OK to provide me the offer. I joined this company after 3 months of my notice period in my previous company and for a first couple of weeks, everything went well for me. I had done some POC for implementing automation in their applications. Since they are working on Oil and Gas domain, which was pretty alien for me, they haven't even provide a formal KT. Immediately they put me into a project and assigned me some tasks and also told to lead the QA team. Somehow I figured out the things by connecting with other employees by getting some information in bits and pieces. Also they asked to come during weekends for conducting seminars, but they didn't provide a comp-off or extra money to compensate that. This show went till the time when COVID lockdown had happened. After that everyone started working from home and after a week of lockdown, the CEO announced that they are laying off some employees due to recession. And that list had my name as well. They cited crude oil price went down and clients are undergoing cost cutting. Shamelessly they said I will be relieved after one month. That was a shock for me since I was the single source of income for my wife and 1-year-old baby. I told my manager that I can't work for the final month since I have to search for a new job and therefore, asked for my last month salary as the relieving compensation. They just provided me the basic salary before relieving. Later I came to know from some of my connections in the company that they just used COVID recession as an opportunity to lay off some employees and it was pre-planned organized act by some of the crooked members in the team who were more close to CEO.
