Sgs dont have work life balance, they will say initially working days are monday to Friday, but the manager and team leads forced the junior to come on Saturday also, amd too much discrimination, too much politics, account manager dont know how to behave, and doing fraud with clients and condidates by forging the resumes internallyto get the submission target.

I had the opportunity to work at SGS India Private Limited for over a year, and it was truly a rewarding experience. The company offers an amazing work culture that fosters both professional and personal growth. One of the standout aspects is the supportive environment created by the seniors—they are approachable, knowledgeable, andalways willing to guide you through challenges. My colleagues across all departments were equally cooperative and enthusiastic, making teamwork smooth and enjoyable. I gained valuable hands-on experience in my field, and I’m grateful for the exposure and learning opportunities provided throughout my time there. Overall, SGS India is a great place to work if you’re looking for career development, a collaborative atmosphere, and supportive leadership....Read More

I have been with sgs ahemdabad for 4 months , the internal politics have seriously affected my experience here. Favoritism is rampant and decisions often seem to be based more on personal relationship than on merit ( instrument department due to team leader) . Also there's a lack of transparency from management, which creates a toxic atmosphere where employees are left in the dark about important changes and decisions. I left the organisation in my probation period, and yes the decision was right....Read More
