Pros

Learned some useful mechanisms Work with mostly competent people

Cons

Managers and so called leaders are there for themselves. Unnatural attrition targets forcing managers to fire high performing people Extensive working hours just to survive.

Pros

Very good pay, opportunity to learn a lot technically!!

Cons

This company, right from the lower rung to the upper leadership, is full of pathological liars who preach lofty values in the form of leadership principles, but will not practice any of them in reality. So, anyone going there or already there, do not get deceived by these lies. For example, they talk a lot about customer focus but in my personal experience, they kept lying to the customer promising certain features in their service, even though they knew very well that the promised time line is not realistic. They kept lying just to keep the billions of dollars worth contract!! They also talk about ownership, meaning own a problem and find a solution. Do not put it on others. In this case, I tried to find a solution to the customer's problem, but the leadership stopped me saying it was not our problem. So, this company is full of hypocrisy and liars.

Pros

My take-home pay was never higher

Cons

You might end up with a manager who praises you one week and tells you you're worthless and replaceable the next, tells the whole team they suck and and replaceable regularly, and who demands you shift priorities to whatever his current whim might be. Then he could decide you need to be on a pip, and have you run out on a rail
