Pros

For people who are yes man to their boss this is very good company. In the above case there is no need to work also

Cons

Service based people have become managers and screwed the company's product culture. There is huge attrition in higher level because of incompetent and service based thinking managers. These people doesn't understand market salaries (one manager was saying years of exp * 1.5 Lakhs is great salary These people have become a group and send all other talented people out of the company They do not understand technology. Compare everything with saving costs. No innovation at all. They are surviving only because of patents they have. (which would expire in couple of years and these guys will be jobless)

Pros

Decent pay, good PTO and benefits

Cons

Everything else. ZERO training. They hand you a laptop (which is garbage) and say good luck. There is no "team." Everyone is on their own. The senior techs all reached their peak 20 years ago and don't even know what BACnet is. The bureaucracy is unbearable. Ordering a simple part is nearly impossible. There are so many apps you have to check in on everyday and they care more about those metrics than they care about the service their customers are receiving. If you want to get your butt kicked everyday with zero support at a company that specializes in taking advantage of their customers, this is the job for you.
