Pros

* Relaxed work culture * This is the best place for contract workers as they are given more importance than full time employees * Infact there is no difference at all for a full time and a contractor * Contractors get better salaries than full time employees * Contractors are even sent to Germany UK Japan for months together * And you know what we won ZinNow awards for gen Y engagement (LOL!!!)

Cons

* There is absolutely no advantage joining as an employee of continental India * Work for 9 hours 30 mins (more hours more products its a factory man!!) * CEO is such a visionary he has reduced all algorithm,coputer vision, embedded engineers to factory workers * The guy even got an award for calling it global software factory * Patent filing is given a lot of importance and a remuneration amount is so huge that we cannot imaging its Rs 20000 ( to be shared lol) * Competition is with apple google Tesla and factory workers will do it !!! * For diwali no gifts, for navratri one sweet box from the cheapest vendor what jockey factory workers get * Stationary items are to be obtained from the store open for 2 hours in a day!and the books and pens available are so bad that you wont even provide such items to your own kid to write * Mainly does maintenance work,Even the management is from service based companies no idea of product based companies * Team lunch is decided rarely that too on a budget of less than 5000 and if ask why they tell in xxx(previous company) its even less ha ha *Salaries are very low they and selection is done on the basis of salary and nothing else * The buses are dirty and dingy cannot compare to cisco/emc/samsung or infact any other company buses * If you see the bus on the road it would be same as the buses in which textile factory workers are being plied (even for them its free!!)
