Applying to WIPRO Sucks!!!

Bangalore: Techlogik Computer Systems (TCS) IT project manager Rajeev Kumar received an unexpected shock when he reported to work on Monday. The front desk receptionist handed him a pink slip as soon as he entered the company building. Rajeev had been leading a team of 55 software and QA engineers on a large project for a US based client. On Friday, Rajeev and his team successfully completed the delivered a bug-free project to the client two days ahead of schedule. The team celebrated the occasion on the weekend was caught completely unawares on the recent development.

TCS refused to issue an official response citing this as an internal matter. However unofficial sources confirmed that the company management was appalled and shocked that their team delivered a bug-free working project. The unofficial spokesman (who we suspect is the official spokesman) said that the company is always focused on the long term and has to ensure that every project results in an on-going stream of work and maintenance projects. Delivering a project that works is simply unacceptable and we strive hard to drive this mindset in our management and engineering philosophy. Every project that we deliver has to undergo a special review before delivery to ensure that the clients cannot run or maintain the systems by themselves. Apparently Rajeev’s team did not follow this process and failed to introduce any bugs into the system. The client was however extremely satisfied with the results and immediately issued the payments and sent special kudos to Rajeev and his team over the weekend.

Other project team members were equally shocked by this action. “How can someone deliver a working project? We have families and kids to look after. Now there is a strong possibility that I could be benched (benched = employed without work with no bonuses and pay-hikes)” said Muralinarayan Muthusamy a software engineer. “In my previous project I was responsible for adding numbers in an excel sheet for a very high profile UK based client and I continued to work on the same excel sheet for 5 years. It was a challenge every time Microsoft rolled out a new office version and we had to start adding numbers all over again. I even managed to pay my sister’s wedding dowry through this project”, he added.

“Rajeev is now responsible for the hardships that all his team members will have to face” said Ramalingham Sreenivasan another software engineer. “I have been working on launching a website project for a US based client for the past 7 years” Ramalingham added proudly. “Our client sold their business 3 times and filed for bankruptcy protection twice while we continued to build their website”, he added.

Calls to Rajeev’s home phone were unattended. His neighbors said that Rajeev is devastated and is finding it very difficult to get job interviews with other companies. He might have to settle in for a call center job to handle customer complaints.

A parody on how our IT services sector operates.

Wow! I’ve never read such disheartening stories in my life. I was just recently hired by wipro. Been here 3 weeks. Microsoft project.
Devops engineer lead.

If you are a good engineer. A good company will hire you. Do not listen to the nay sayers. You cannot climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets.

I have a GED. I graduated the 8th grade.
I have been in my profession for 25 years. I started at 11.25 an hour for AOL dialup. Tech support. And ended up at 96/hr. Senior Devops Lead engineer - Enterprise cloud Architect.

No company mandates your future. There are no excuses. You either have it. Or you don’t. Get in line with the people complaining or get in line to get a check for hard workers who earned their way.

Just my opinion. I could be wrong.
Joe.

By the way have a look at this job posting....

Just read the notes sections...one hell of conditions.
As if they are threatening poor candidates and giving some supari or something...

View attachment 56907


Now how the hell any candidate will ever think of applying to jobs of this co.?

I think you might not have the best idea of what exists out there on the candidates side.

I have seen some of my family members' friends enlist in some 'coaching institutes' which 'guarantee' a job by creating a fake PF profile, fake experience certificate, fake previous offer letters and shows experience even if you have had gaps.

One of my cousin's friends had left her job after marriage. 6 years and a kid later, since her husband is too casual about life, she joined one such institution. The institute gave her testing training, interview experiences and made a Naukri profile for her, applied on her behalf, got her a job in a startup who has clients in the west.
They manufactured 6 years of work experience. There were 150 candidates in her batch. All of them secured jobs at the end of the course.

I think that company is fed up of such candidates.

Completely agree on furbishing official letters etc.

But seriously cannot believe we are responding to an almost a decade old thread now.

As for the pic during that time..

• Furbishing exp. letter or all formality letters from an official id is fine that too. cos. now do not allow to drop such emails outside anymore. I myself cannot share even salary slips to my personal ids and first have to whitelist such addresses.
• As far as the parent co. has conveyed the joining and fnf documents etc. on your personal ids thats perfectly fine. (never got questioned in my 15yr old career as thats straightaway understood)
• What sucks is still many so called mncs and tiny co.s are showing off some old standards like should not have any gap in career/education and that the person should only do full-time course no diplomas etc. Heck! wake up sid in which era are these cos. living?
• Who carries bank statements right from 1st co.? Cos. only ask for last 2-3 co.s max depending how many you switched.
• These cos. are nothing but candidate and then exploits just like some vulnerability exploits in our OSes.
• Such cos. are still living in the pre-2008 era.

I hope many such cos. might now have relaxed such crappy policies yet such shitty co.s still exists as world is full of idiots.

should not have any gap in career/education

Can somebody explain why the corporate sector came up with this bizarre hiring policy? Why does one owe them an explanation and why is this even a factor of consideration?

The hiring should be based on the skills/talents of the individuals. People can have gap years for a wide range of problems. That warrants no disclosure or explanation unless the gap is like 10 years or sth.

Who carries bank statements right from 1st co.? Cos. only ask for last 2-3 co.s max depending how many you switched.

This is up there with the most pointless requirements. UPI is used for everything these days so the passbooks are not going to help. A physical visit to the bank is required to obtain statements if they are too old.

What's next? Are they going to inquire what the job seeker did with whatever salary he received?
