      Good long-term approach and great focus on customer

      Pros

      The company provides a lot of opportunities to work on various projects and interact with different groups. In addition, it is fairly easy to move around to different groups. The results of your projects are very visible and you will have the opportunity to interact with management. The company has a very long-term approach and seems to be well positioned for the future.

      Cons

      The hours can be long. Because a sizable portion of the business happens around holidays you might not get these off. Additionally, management can be prone to micromanage its employees. This is very frustrating at times and can suggest that there isn't a lot of trust placed in employees to make decisions.

      Creativity in the midst of chaos

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work with empowered, very smart people. Lots of interesting technology. Individual groups have a lot of autonomy and are empowered to make their own decisions.

      Cons

      Support of the tier-1 systems can be exhausting at times. Hundred of groups with lots of freedom sometimes creates duplicate efforts and mismatched goals.

      Could be better

      Pros

      Very good work, diverse work, nice peer group, small teams. work is very challenging and original. you get more responsibilities soon. nice growth opportunities are good for people who take up the challenges. still not yet in the indian mould, so there is not much difference from the seattle based teams and indian teams, which is good. the hiring bar is pretty high, so you work with a lot of brilliant people, which helps in shaping your career better. Compensation is pretty good compared to the industry average, and there is good recognition for good work. you feel like working in a startup.

      Cons

      the facilities are very mediocre and downright poor in some cases. the management does not mind cutting costs on the facilities provided, there is not much to refresh during work, the cafeteria is bad, poor phones, not many meeting rooms, no TT tables. some teams work on 24 by 7 support model which is very bad. some managers care only about the quantity of work and not quality. not much interaction between various teams like in seattle, the teams here keep to themselves. not much innovative ideas come from the indian team, inspite of having great talent, the management does not seem to be using them well.
