Pros

salary gets credited on time. Thats it.

Cons

1. no work culture 2. no process 3. if you don't know "buttering"- or not a yes man - you will be fired. Or get cornered or bullyed in such a way that you will develop mental health issues or physical disease even can become suicidal. 4. HR is incapable,rude, unprofessional - management should fire them asap . 5. They will increase office hours as per their whims... it is against company policy. you will be pressurized to work 10-12 hours per day - 6 days a week. No work life balance. No planning and no sensibility. 6. They don't even provide proper KT to new joiners and expect them to work like a pro... without any product knowledge. 7. so much negativity... fear of losing job will kill you...slowly... 8. WFH policy is there... but it is just for show.. it is for those yes men only. 9. Higher management is dillusional and non technical. 10. Attrition rate is >60% which proves all the above points

Pros

- Salary gets credited on 1st of every month - Reimbursements are good

Cons

- Old timers involved only in politics, they are not interested in work. Lot of back biting and unhealthy competition specially at mid-management level (Principal, Sr Principal level) - New joiners at Lead/Manager level are made scapegoats and not supported by top management even when they are aware of the situation. - In last 1.5 yrs - 2 HR heads have resigned, 1 Director IT has resigned, 1 VP has resigned. Not a place where you can plan for your future ahead. - Bosses sitting in UK drive everything and have very un-realistic expectations - No approach to build software. Architecture gets changed even in the last months of delivery. - Avoid joining this company -
