Pros

1. No Pros at all. 2. Some pros mentioned in other reviews are not really the pros. Eg - cookies along with tea,coffee. I don't deny it but Seriously? Does this help your career.

Cons

Its a long list and every word is true. If you don't believe, visit to a Temenos office location and ask anyone who is young (person should not be in higher management). 1. For freshers - do not join the company based on compensation. The work you will do can be done by a high school student which mostly include taking screenshots. 2. Technology used by them is absolutely nowhere used. To illustrate my point more clearly, people here do vbscripting which is so old that it does not have a for loop, whereas current organizations use python. 3. Development is done using jbasic. No one in the world use this technology anymore. 4. Senior management is so worse that they will put their work also on you. No supportive culture. Can be related to pure dictatorship. 5. Senior management talks so loudly on calls and disturb everyone as if this is their home. They have made discussion rooms but don't know how to use it. 6. Formal dresscode. This has already been mentioned in other reviews. 7. No growth or hikes. Managers gives 8.5 hours instead of 9hrs as a excuse to not give hikes. 8. Lots of internal exams which are of no use. If you clear, its fine. If not, again you will be looked down upon, no hikes, will be forced to leave. 9. Product is good in its domain, but it has become so complex that now they themselves are finding it difficult to manage. 10. They even keep a check for how long are you taking a break, how much you talk to others. 11. No proper canteen. Only sandwich,burger, maggi, juice are available that too of bad quality. 12. People are here from so many years, made it as their home and will eventually rule upon you. The reason is they cannot shift company because of their no technical knowledge. 13. Some senior managers during early times were hired from banks to manage teams of technical expertise. 14. The things they ask you in interview have nothing to do with what you will apply in your work, not even 0.00..01 %. They will give you training eventually. 15. Most of the people good in technical knowledge from cs background who get stuck here have left the company within 6 months. For eg, from 20 new hires only 3-4 people stay, rest leave eventually. 16. their ratings few months back was 1.8, somehow they managed to increase it. 17. No communication and transparency. Management in chennai takes the credit of work done and problems encountered by bangalore staff by sending the mails to UK office without keeping others in CC. 18. Worst HR. In bangalore office , HR refers to senior hr in chennai for everything. Here they are mostly interested in cake cuttings, munching, no real work. 19. To every bad review, HR will claim it as hoax claim, so many people can't be wrong. 20. Lot of work pressure, no work life balance. 21. They claim it to be the fastest growing in IT. I don't deny it but upon scrutinizing you will find that there is no competitor of them. Also it will grow further more, you can see the increase in shares. Higher management no longer offer shares to other employees, they keep all of them and eventually all the profit goes to them. 22. Lot of hiring is going on because their work is more of labor work. Also many people leave the company so they hire a lot from lower 2 tier colleges, with less knowledge so eventually they can't leave. 23. People from all the streams mechanical, bio, IT, CSE are hired and do same work. This says it all. They believe in the policy that, if someone has fingers, select him/her put into testing. They also hire from NITs but mechanical branch. I haven't seen anyone from top tier college and IT related field in the company. Many more reviews, but can't waste my time anymore on this company.
