Pros

- Good office ambience - Free meals - Relaxed life

Cons

- Company will deducted extra vacation from next month's earned, when you take a leave from your own balance leaves. So they don't give the promised number of leaves in a year. - There is no point saying anything to HR, as they'll never listen to their flaws. - No yearly increment, just wait for company's market correction once in 2/3yrs. - Your work performance is never counted as there is no yearly increment and variable pay is given on company's performance. - No growth as promotion program is so bad that forget about it.

Pros

Great opportunities for those working hard and achieving financial results Multiple locations around the world, diverse workforce Strong culture, people feel proud of working there

Cons

Terrible in people management (lack of psychological safety among employees, employees constantly afraid of being fired, does not foster innovation outside of HQ, diversity exists but inclusion does not happen, e.g. there are limited women at senior positions, there is a clear preference for French nationals)
