Pros

Good package and transport Subsidised food.

Cons

There is no proper rules and they says transition is going on from sigma to merck and it will take time may b an year. No proper leavers( 4 sick leaves and 22 annual). How come four leaves in an it? Strick dress code like school, even for in short HR will question u. And Need to maintain 9 hours like a service based company. While offering they will say so many and nothing is proper inside. No leaves, strict timings, strict dress code.. More over there no portal where u can see policylies.

Pros

Pay is reasonable. Has flexible work arrangements. Colleagues are generally nice.

Cons

-Over complicate things. -No direction. -Lots of silos. -Very inwardly focused, no customer focus even though they talk a lot about it. -Management talks a big game but fails to execute. -Management likes to change things frequently for the sake of it, even if the changes have no value. They also do not properly consider the impact of their decisions. -Systems and processes seem to be under a constant state of change which constantly makes things worse.
