It’s 16 for an associate, plus the week between Christmas and New Years Day plus holidays everyone gets. It ramps pretty quickly as you progress. I think managers get 26 or 28 days? Better than unlimited as many folks will get the short end of that scam.

BDO 4 — I mean I guess but as a new staff I had an entire week for July 4th & Christmas/New Years then like 20 days of PTO so good luck convincing them to pay their dues lol

Hi fishes,
My friend have cleared Tata Elxsi interview 5 months back and received her offer letter. Still now she haven’t recvd a joining letter. Couple of other friends are also facing similar issue.
Does anyone have any update on this?
Tried mailing to the HR and to their help desk. No response.
Its really disappointing. Even if they are not able to onboard candidates now, the least they can do is aknowledge and respond to the queries.
Hope someone can give more insight onto this issue.
