Pros

A decent enough health insurance plan and catering.

Cons

- No real career growth, despite the strong claims. - Projects are taken up and changed on the whims of upper management without any real, clear vision. - The career progression path is completely and unnecessarily complicated, and only serves to keep employees tied to the organisation while holding off on any real progress. - Career progression is based solely on how much you do outside of your daily work and how much you work overtime. Regular work is considered to be the bare minimum and does not have a considerable weight in promotions or even year-end ratings. - No yearly increments as the tokenistic increments in salary are provided only upon completion of a particular grade, for which you have to take up projects outside of your team, with almost no reduction in your daily job tasks. - Feedback is used as a tool for exploitation and not constructively. - Expectations to regularly work after-hours with no suitable compensation. - Most of the management is poorly trained with a concerningly low emotional quotient and not equipped to handle pressure in a way that is actually constructive. - No job security. Unexpected layoffs of senior employees while still hiring freshouts. No clear vision or process in hiring.
