Pros

Company Policies are good. With good leave benefits.

Cons

Internal Politics and favoritism is in most projects. The overall experience will not matter. Your connections and experience in the company will matter.

Pros

- Work life balance - Good brand value

Cons

- Discrimination against outsiders - More use of local language at office rather than English - cannot trust management, will lie to you - bad politics - slow promotion, and promotions don't necessarily mean Big growth in salary - you would expect it's a big company with lot of revenue but management will always cut corners and save money at your cost, your salary will not be corrected if it is below your market rate or if it is below the benchmark in your team. - Misleading job offers, they can change your team or your work or your shift after you join. They can change your position after you join. This is cheating as we join a company after careful consideration of other alternatives. They will use every loophole in the game to do that. Position and team can be inconsistent in your payslip just so that they don't have to give you salary correction. If you are a non Bengali outsider, do not make the decision of joining this company. Try other cosmopolitan cities.
