Pros

- lots of divisions to move around - lot of exposure to almost any area you want to work on

Cons

- Meritocracy is not valued - you grow based on whom you know - Many people just hide in their role for years (basically work without having the right skills, but keeping good relationship with decision makers)

Unfair policy

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work life balance if your manager is sensible. Career opportunities are available if you know the right managers.

Cons

Policy on compensations is absurd. Grievance redressal system is pathetic. Appraisal is based on outdated "Bell curve" irrespective of the team's work. Disconnect between Senior management and other employees.
