Good teammates who are energetic to work and learn, supportive managers and leads. Pays decent benefits to people who perform (depends on the manager too). Learning opportunities are good as the company is growing and are trying to streamline its processes to the best in the industry. Another positive point would be the flexible timings which can be utilized by us.

Dislikes

Though it is good to work with the new people, some in the upper management are not very eager to accept new ideas and changes which leads to conflict. The company should be process driven and not change the established processes as per project needs (certain exceptions can be considered). But still I would like to say that with the arrival of some new people in the executive level changes are taking place and the organization is becoming flexible to some extent.

Also asking freshers to sign a bond at the time of joining is something I find unethical.

Work

Being part of the process team, required me to travel to different project locations and meet the managers to discuss regarding the metrics analysis and auditing purposes. It was challenging but interesting and helped me learn a lot.

Company is small, so learning opprtunities are more. but there is a flip side to that too. You can gain confidence by developing exploring things on ur own.

Dislikes

Compensation is less, managers may call u on weekends, no proper recognition for your work. team mates will b jealous of your accomplishments. mid level managment is not good. comapny has minimum 7 hrs a day work policy.
no work from home.
Now they have moved to new campus- so flexibility is gone too.
Typical service based company, politics and all.
Ceo roams here and there, catches people for not wearing formals and all.
Cafeteria sucks bug time.
new office is so away from town. so no more eat out options.
Not many entertainment or fun activities.
Its a freshers class room.

SLK offers reasonably good opportunities for skill development, since it encourages individual technical contribution by its employees. Employees who are willing to relocate to one of the client locations, have the potential for high growth in technical and analyst roles. Those with people management skills can pursue managerial careers either at a client location or offshore.

Dislikes

One needs to aggressively highlight their individual contribution to the success of a project, in order to be noticed.

Work

I found that the company management is open to suggestions and feedback. However decision making is centralized. Also, I found it difficult to share information with colleagues in other groups within the company, due to strict restrictions on data.

Likes

Too much of politics and communalism. Only support projects. The LOB heads are big time politicians. I suggest not to join. Also they have office near Airport which is too far from Bangalorr city.

Dislikes

Management is involved in politics and leg pulling, too improfessional. Most are not even from technology background and are just promoted bees. No growth for employees as they don't value their skills and talent.

Work

Generally speaking my work is boring as I don't have any authority to work with freedom. The managers are imposing as because they have joined this company as freshers. So haven't seen any software or IT culture. All support projects.

This is an honest review whether you'd like to consider or not.

BEST - Learning is remarkable and endless working in SLK.

WORST - Everything else a company should have doesn't exist, such as Employee Engagement, rewards, recognition, work satisfaction, lack of motivation, hostile environment.

To summarize if you're new to the industry and I'd recommend to work for SLK as you're forced to learn to meet the deadlines and deliver.

Other than that wouldn't recommend if you have a life and loving it.

Chance to learn new technologies. medium growth opportunities.

Dislikes

Bit of bureaucracy, run by private individuals so company decisions not particularly in favour of employees, average hikes and since service company always need to be billed else you have have to look out elsewhere. Micromanagement & strict adherence to company policies and adherence to minimum clock in hours at office.

Likes

Campus is located at zero traffic area, freedom of learning new technolgies, healthy work-life balance.

Dislikes

Pay scale is too low for freshers and appraisal/hike is not proper according to the performance. At the same time lateral employees get very good % of hike without doing any work as this company is totally freshers oriented.

Work

(Hectic+Boring+Exciting)/3

Good for freshers only provided they do not have any other opportunity

Very low compensation, no respect towards loyal employee, it’s a Pvt. Ltd organisation so the company owner consider himself as the God of slk kingdom
