Pros

No Pros by this employer. Only personal gain is if this will be your first corporate job or breakout opportunity to gain experience you lack.

Cons

Really poor compensation package. I worked here for 3.5years and no equity grant. Really low pay for what I was doing. Was compensated for 60-72k + 10% bonus throughout my 3.5 years whereas the moment the I left and applied elsewhere - literally all potential employer offered 100k-120k in addition to bonus and equity. Also, no opportunity given to change teams or advance up.

Pros

I don’t see any pros.

Cons

In performance review there was question ‘are you bad, good, or better compare to your coworkers ? This is the best example of toxic workplace culture. Racial intolerance, Servant-leadership behavior, personal attacks on everyday basis. No growth.

Pros

Team Politics and a couple of team who work for recent technologies

Cons

1. Not a single leader who can go for a public speaking for any event. A few of them can even speak better English than anyone else in this world ( that's what they think) 2. No proper culture.. it's like "Ji Huzur" - whatever the Tokyo team to tell you... Just node ur head, accept the task n come back from meeting 3. Confidentially is a joke here, any information going to your HR Partner just rest assured, your manager n Dept. head got a notification on that 4. Performance does not matter. Are u in a good book with ur Manager/ Dept. Head ? If no, average rating is confirm for you 5. In HR team, people get promotion if they are not even eligible for. But in other Departments, it's like as per HR Policy _ follow all this 6. Interview process also sucks
