Pros

Worth joining here if work life balance or "no work" is important to you.

Cons

Even though the European offices have no stringent rules on office timings, the offices in india require you to report before 10 am. This despite the fact that work starts after 12 , usually after the swedish customers come in They appraise you based on whether your timesheets have been released or not,,, not based on the quality of your deliverables There exists within this organization a department called consulting services, which is now changing to IT services... only to place employees into projects. The so called managers of this department manager 40 -50 people each. And if you miss releasing one of your timesheets, they gleefully bring your appraisal down. Everyone gets an equal hike here- no one will ever grow except top management, If youre a developer , you will remain one for the next 20 years

Pros

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

Cons

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.
