Silver Lining: Aggregate Ratings are not an indicator of an individual experiences.

I worked with these companies (Webplant and Mobileum) very early in my career.
And these companies are way below average. But I don't have too many bitter memories from my time at Webplant or Mobileum (far as I recall today).

Date -- Company -- Rating -- #Reviews -- Annual Revenue
Jun / 27 / 2026 -- The Web Plant -- 2.8 -- 119 -- $0.81 million
Jun / 27 / 2026 -- Mobileum -- 3.2 -- 386 -- $378.1 million

But I have been very much scarred from my time while working for some well-known service based companies like IBM Consulting and Cognizant.

Date -- Company -- Rating -- #Reviews -- Annual Revenue
Jun / 26 / 2026 -- IBM Consulting -- 3.7 -- 163 -- $21.1 billion
Jun / 26 / 2026 -- Cognizant -- 3.7 -- 62400 -- $21.11 billion

Even experiences at Infosys were not that worse than what I had at Cognizant and IBM Consulting.

Date -- Company -- Rating -- #Reviews -- Annual Revenue
Jun / 26 / 2026 -- Infosys -- 3.5 -- 49600 -- $20.16 billion
