I am also a campus recruit just like you who got placed in 2011 batch, they gave me training in Java , J2EE and Oracle for 3 months and then forced me into accepting support projects. The first time I got a proposal was for a support project which I had refused. After that I was in free pool for nearly 6 months and was searching for any available Development or even testing projects that would require fresher resource. I had informed my HR about this as well. However, with frustration of being in free pool for 6 months , another support project(that too which is of 24/7 nature) had come for proposal and I was forced to accept this. I forgot to mention that I am also an Engineering graduate in IT but yet had to accept with the support project I had got.
There is no proper allocation of resources in projects at Wipro. They provide training in one domain and put you into projects which belong to another domain(particularly those which are of less value ). I learnt one thing from my experience being a fresher you cannot expect Job Satisfaction in Wipro. Ya and as far as salary goes, there is a bad concept known as QPLC where they deduct some portion from your 3 months salary and give it to you on the 4th month package. Moreover, you will receive this amount entirely only during the first 6 months(if you are in free pool i.e. bench) and after that if you still don’t get into a project, you wont be receiving that money. As far as for those in the project after 6 months, you will still not get the entire amount that was deducted from your previous month ’s salary and will only be getting 75-80% based on the project where you are working.
Life is a hell in Wipro. I would advice other campus recruits to try for other companies and if they are placed in wipro then they would definitely regret their fate.0 hrs 1 min ago
