Pros

The benefits, PTO Balance and 401 K contribution are overall good. That is about it!

Cons

If you get stuck with a bad manager that is not flexible you may not be allowed to use some of the company benefits that are "promised and sold" at the interview (such as the hybrid schedule) and you have to come in 5 days a week like a little child even if there is no one around . I would often come to the office where I was alone for most of the day in the entire floor and not one person would walk by so the hybrid thing works great for some and for others it doesn't its ridiculous! If you come from a modern company their culture will shock you, a lot of the upper management individuals are older gentleman/generation who have a very old mentality and inadequate ways of conducting work so that sucks for the newer generations. HR is basically a robot machine, and you can't talk to a person never there is basically zero human touch. Lastly, there are a lot of rude & grumpy employees (specially the older ones) and overall the culture of rudeness is totally normalized & ignored, kind of toxic.

Pros

Compensation is good but depends upon your negotiation skills. You will find people making double of you at same designation and same skill set. Good infrastructure & nice location, at least in pune. Leave policy is awesome.

Cons

Salary hikes are worst even after promotion. You will find many people hired only to talk and improve decorum of office. Too much politics. Being a new setup in India, every one is trying to be head of something 😁 Unnecessary layers in management. Worst work life balance.

Pros

Great brand. Generally friendly culture. Excellent place to develop professional skills. Mostly satisfied to have spent a few years here early in my career.

Cons

Low growth environment. Career advancement largely driven by personnel changes above you. Very bureaucratic. Hard to see promising long-term career prospects here, unless you're okay with just waiting to see if you catch a fortunate break.
