      Great tech and learning, but slow promotions and pay hikes

      Senior solutions test engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Works on cutting-edge tech but depends on team. Felxible even in hybdrid as it is not 2 days per week but 20 days per quarter policy. Pays decently. Good learning opportunities and courses provided

      Cons

      Promotion based on visibility and not on deliverables. No hikes for couple of years and then single digit hike for last two years. As a QA, no lab in Bangalore is an issue as small things like pulling fiber takes a long time to execute. Very limited promotion options, don't see becoming architect or manager in even next 10 years

      Decent pay, but outdated culture and chaos reign

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Decent salary. You'll also quickly gain valuable experience in how not to operate on your next job: a lesson that will serve you well in future roles.

      Cons

      Old-fashioned work culture where you're expected to execute without question. Excessive overtime work, release cycles are chaotic, and there's little appetite for improving systems or sustainability, it's all about following orders rather than thinking critically.

      As with many growing companies, pace and priorities can shift quickly at times
