      Pros

      Flexible Work From Home Policies

      Cons

      I recently had the unfortunate experience of working for Experian India where the pentest team managers exhibited a severe lack of leadership skills and a troubling preference for favoritism within the teams. Some team members receiving preferential treatment, while others were consistently left out in the cold. Team managers created a toxic work environment where team members constantly felt undervalued and overlooked. I would strongly advise anyone considering a position at this company to proceed with caution. The lack of effective leadership and the prevalence of favoritism are serious concerns that can have a lasting negative impact on your career and well-being.

      Pros

      Decent salary & benefits, monthly no internal meeting days

      Cons

      Friendly reminder that HR does not care about you. They care about staff with seniority, whom they will allow to retaliate despite that being against company policies. Think twice about reporting the higher ups because it will come back to haunt you, guaranteed. Also, AI is the only thing that matters anymore. Watching the volume of once-impressive colleagues become so single and simple minded through constant AI usage is not only disappointing but genuinely alarming. Thinking for oneself is no longer the standard, it seems, and speaking against such unfettered use of AI in all things will get you professionally ostracized.
