Pros

-Pool Cab and food ok. -self learning material -clean office.

Cons

-Salary growth is slower compared to industry for mid and backend roles. -Lack of necessary coordination among Team members due to cut throat visibility and growth concerns. -Lack of respect for lateral talent.Some employees are highly arrogant, verbally indecent which is reflected in verbal spats and emotional outbursts on the floor. -Managers are often defensive for their ego and hide their insecurities behind their designation and yoe. -Due to productivity targets and client requirements,employees are provided with much more than their work capacity without proper direction. -Holidays feel like painful escapes. -High Ambiguity in processes and change management.Unnecessary levels and multiplicity of documentation,controls and approvals. -Politics is evident on day 1 and highly variable cultures between teams. -HR is for maintaining documentation, promotional branding,fashion- not responsible for employee welfare.
