1) Managers are partial and don't know any thing technical. They are supposed to do only functional things at times. 2) Lots of politics due to bad rating policy. They call it (70 20 10) policy. 3) If you don't get a good project then company change is the only option. 4) Too much manager driven, HR play no role. 5) Very difficult to change project, most IJP's are fake. Its easy to change a company. 6) Most people are here for enjoyment & knows very little technical things. 7) Hires from any engineering college , need smart & techy people. 8) No Bench. 9) Little on site opportunities.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
