Pros

pros: 1. Open culture wihtin BU, but its fadding slowly 2. Reputed name

Cons

cons: 1. Vaccination- when companies like infosys gives vaccication for free. Why cant Philips being health care compnay is charging ?? 2. No work-life balance Too much work - After managment has changed and corona, there is too much wrk as if its service based company. Worked til 1pm sometimes 2pm , even weekend was not spared. Even after doing work by stretching what is the hike 5%?? really? 3. Policies changed - After new managment took office almost everthing is changed mobile remeburment(10K) - earlier present - now removed fitness/wearables(20k) - earlier present - now removed yearly outing(company provides 10k) - earlier present - now removed 4. Covid home office setup(10k was provided, to claim 10k u hv to purchase 13k dont u think tat these guys should be WALLSTREET BROKERS) - earlier was told even ups was covered as rembuirement but, when its bought policy makers said ONLY FOR LAPTOP UPS. I means who will buy only laptop ups ??? 5. Tranport - This is big issue. earlier its was just 1600 rupees, after managment change it was increased to 3600 rupees. Dont know what is fate of employeeds after corona like this many polcies changed 5. So if u get offer. Dont think its product based company n join. Think tat u will working for 12-16 hours keep this in mind ask salary accordingly

Pros

- Easy commute if you live north of Seattle/Bellevue - Decent cafeteria - Decent compensation

Cons

- The level of apathy amongst colleagues is off the charts. Many people are simply coasting and collecting a paycheck. When you try to be a team player and pick up the slack, you simply become a target for blame. - Due to the extremely lax "return to office" policy, the office often feels quite empty when there is plenty of work to be done. Being onsite M-F often leads to more work with little support. - There is a culture of public shaming, with several meetings every week dedicated to project leads targeting individuals to make up for their own lack of technical understanding.
