Thank you for your feedback and apologies for having you to go through not so good experience about referrals. Our referral program is very transparent. As part of referral program, Associates need to upload the resume against each open position online and similarly TA team does the same. We do explain to associate if there are any anomalies. Towards referral program, we have rewarded more than 100 associates and we also reward those who share more than 10 relevant profiles matching the JD.

Pros

You get exposure to the very latest technology, and the company is implementing it in impactful, real-world ways. Even if you're not in a tech role, you naturally build deeper understanding in the latest technologies that you may never get exposure to at other companies. Truly global. Even for employees not in global roles, you still get good visibility into the company's global scale and impact.

Cons

Too much process around approvals which reduces speed of execution. Asked to step-up but then insufficient support provided. Two-faced behaviors of managers has become acceptable.
