CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Food in cafetaria is great 2. Office Location 3. Office Infra

Cons

1. Managers from Zurich location treat Indian colleagues as Low cost Labours. They will not attend late evening calls but will expect Indian colleagues to attend the calls at evening 8-9pm. 2. Too many people with 12+ years in the company are sitting ideal and drawing fat salaries. 3. When you try to switch teams, managers ego will get hurt and they will try every possible way to make it stop. 4. Too many C/D bands in Zurich location who runs the show in India but don't have an iota of knowledge about the how the things work in this new age environment.

Highly toxic, don't recommend any longer

Vice president

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Used to have good pay, key word is USED TO. The rank and salary ceilings are lower the last couple of years. Unless you are lucky and get one of the few good bosses, you will get stuck very quickly.

Cons

Terrible cost cutting measures, constant restructuring and layoffs. Also heard of people being forced to leave in various ways without severance. The remaining people have to fill the void without proper training. Consider yourself warned.
