Pros

Heaven for Mallus Generally good for other south Indians Hell for North Indians

Cons

Never join this company if you are a north Indian. You will never be able to survive the Mallu politics. Only Mallus get salary increments, career opportunities and they are part of every initiative which can give them undue visibility. If you are ever get an interview call, dont forget to ask how come 40+% people are from a Kerla which has only 3% of population of India.

Pros

Really inclusive environment and most of campus is already with ABW - activity based workplace (flexible seating).

Sometimes due to the very inclusive environment, decisions can take a little longer.

Pros

Great team of colleagues. Employee who are focused on ensuring their best. Excellent collaboration between teams. Colleagues who will look past the negative culture and continue to do their best for the company.

Cons

Culture & HR team who are clueless about global teams and work strategies. Focus on how many days and hours are spent in the office, rather than quality of work delivered. "You are being tracked by HR" has become the new way of life with the new culture. Total lack of communication after announcing job cuts are coming, due to awful truck sales and loss of market share in USA. Heavily bloated VP structure.
