After two years of full time service felt had a fading view on AZ

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Food and Cab. Direct talks with management. Leave and allowance are good.

Cons

Initially started as a product company but later faded into a typical service based company. No proper process in the HR system in chennai after two years also. OSM's are recruited from service based company which is eventually spolining the essence of AZ as they always think about cost cutting and doesnt care about employee benifts, which affects the overall productivity. OSM's working on behalf of UK counter parts as they are not allowed to think far than that. Intially there were lots of gifts but later turned into a service based company with no gifts.
