Not good for software.

Pros

Age old conservative company as far as employee growth is concerned.

Cons

Software work is not valued here. Might be because it's a materials engg company. Not worth spending early part of career. Work quality is bad. Very few people globally work on good projects. Compensation is negligible. They are just some numbers on paper for the sake of achieving necessary compliances. Employee work and effort are not valued. After spending some time in this company, one feels if they have been fooled by this company. Hardworking and talented employees are laughed upon and looked down upon by those who get away by not doing good work. When it comes to rewarding employees, they act as if the employee's effort was not needed and thr employee was a fool hence had to put in so many hours. Technically incompetent supervisors in software. Sheer waste of time and talent. Join only if you have no other option anywhere.

Pros

No shares and no good hike

Cons

Most managers are scum and are kept in company just for being in company from long time. Managers don't have the basic etiquette to talk to team and HR is ineffective. Join only if no option at hand

Pros

Good segment of industry to work for, or start you career with.

Cons

Applied India, is just a cost center and not many interesting projects happen here. If you are mechanical engineer you will be working on dud stuff. You have zero to null chances of climbing the ladder as mid management people are already in position of strength . Work place harassment is common. AGS , managers are very scared of new folks who can out perform them and will find every reason to hurt them. Any NCG (New College Graduates) who join here will leave in span of 2 and half year , they are from IIT and NIT's and they know its stupid to continue here. Developing local leadership is joke.
