Worst company for fresher - Anonymous employee Nagarro Employee Review

Dear young colleague, I am sorry you have a negative opinion of the company you work at :-) But the facts you mention are somewhat at variance with things as they are on the ground. Let me at least provide my perspective. I assume you are based in Gurgaon or Jaipur. In these locations, the actual matching of freshers to projects isn’t done by the regular Talent Allocation and Planning team (which you call the RM team) but by the Freshers Team. This team is dedicated to the hiring and training and allocation of fresh graduates joining Nagarro. It is run by no less a person than Manmohan Gupta, co-founder of Nagarro and also of Vidyamandir Classes. He is quite the guru - I was once with him at IIT Delhi, for example, and he was mobbed by IIT students and even IIT professors (who had been his students). He guides which freshers get to work on which projects based on how they have performed in their training and assessments. It may not always be rosy for everyone but it is far from random. You say we don’t have enough projects at Nagarro and at the same time you say that we are hiring a lot of people. The first of these statements is incorrect. We are hiring people only because we have a lot of work! We aren’t that rich or stupid to hire people when work doesn’t exist. You appear to have joined Nagarro last year when there was great uncertainty in the India job market and salaries were rather static, not least because of unfavourable foreign exchange movements. Many large companies had deferred their appraisals even. We are in a very different state this year and salaries are likely to stay buoyant for a while. Nagarro is committed to paying top salaries for top people and, like others in the industry, we see the spread between top performer and average performer salaries even increasing. We are happy to move with the times. Hope you soak this all in, settle down and find some peace at Nagarro!
