Not a good place - werkgeversreview Senior Software Engineer bij Software Innovation

It is a Norway based company . So work pressure is almost Nil. Most of the time they will be on vacation so our work load in Bangalore will be very less. We have annual bonus ( outside CTC) and 3 year and 5 year bonus. At the end of 3 year 20% of CTC and at the end of 5th year 40% of the CTC will be given.It is a product company and Microsoft technology oriented. Apart from this there are other benefits like mobile, broad band, lunch snacks etc. outside the CTC. Managers are very employee friendly and down to earth. I never seen such kind of managers in my career. Norwegian people are very kind and they understand our problems easily . Good opportunities are given for Non performing resources.

Onsite opportunities are almost Nil. Norwegian people visit very often to Bangalore. But we won't get any opportunity to go there. If you keep asking they will send you for 3 weeks. It is a small size company of 70 people. They are very stringent when it comes to stationary like envelope, head phone, Identity card holder etc. You need to argue a lot to get 1 piece. Cab facility is limited. There is no scope for new product development. They don't do any job rotation inside the company. While joining itself needs to get into good team where technical challenges are there. There is no specialized HR to listen and address employee concerns.Since Mangers are very flexible we don't see as a problem now.

Product company and Microsoft Technology Oriented. Good salary as per industry standards. A small company with strength of 70 in Bangalore but no job risk as all the product development happens in Bangalore.So opportunities to work in various teams and various technologies in given. Technically smart people both in Bangalore and Norway. Daily interaction with Norwegian developers, Consultants and some times customers. Cross team interaction and everyone is very helpful. Full internet access and ample time to learn new technologies online. Very open as any body can go and discuss problems even with Director. HR is good, listens to your queries and resolves them at the earliest. Other benefits like Mobile, Broadband bills, tea time snacks, team outings, celebrations, dinner for best team of the month, etc. Insurance coverage, Health Insurance, Yearly Bonus, 3 years and 5 years bonus are outside of CTC. Cab facility for certain routes Good work life balance. Occasional visit to Norway for 2- 3 months.

Since its a product company, people can not expect onsite, still they send people to Norway for 2-3 weeks. Getting good work and taking initiative is all sole dependent and company and its people cannot be blamed for it. Be more enthusiastic and ask for more work if you feel you don't have sufficient work. At the same time you get enough time and resources to learn some new technologies.
