Pros

It looks super fancy from the outside with 1.flashy facilities 2.great interviews 3.super accommodation 4.good welcome 5.Great work life balance. Indeed the company was simply marvelous couple of years back.

Cons

The system changed from great to worse in just 3 years. I saw the changes, the number of people leaving increased month over month. 1.Leaders are hired from declining industries like Genpact to make the system worse day by day. 2.Regional favoritism grew tremendously especially in Bengal community. 3.There is no freedom to speak up against this issue as the entire system till Group Heads are of the same community. I am glad i got out of the system.

Pros

Benefits might be considered good, but also might be comparable with other companies of the same rank.

Cons

Very hostile work envinroment, unfair treatment of emploees, discrimination. Endes working hours and harrasment Management outlooks solely to their own survival, nothing else is of a concern for the management. No training, no support.

Pros

Salary and benefits are excellent The people you work with in Dublin are some of the nicest you'll ever met Good work/life balance if you are efficient and smart about how you worth Company demand the highest quality work and everyone you work with is onboard with that

Cons

Company is forcing everyone to return to office 3 days per week minimum despite all KPIs increasing under the previous fully remote working policy. Senior Leadership at CEO level and one level below have been gaslighting staff as to why remote working choice was removed Recently laid off over 300 people in Dublin as part of a global savings effort that was extremely poorly managed Promotions have been on hold for two years and when they do happen, they are more to do with whether a more senior role is available, than how long you have been ready for that role Senior Leadership have indicated they are finished listening to staff, are ignoring concerns, refusing to answer questions honestly and generally forcing changes through, brutally and without compassion. Culture has completely changed compared to two years ago and this is effecting the entire company. It feels like empathy and compassion are no longer there.
