Pros

Some good policies, a .lot of employee engagement activities. Decent pay.

Cons

1. Old tech stack 2. Lot of chaos at every level. 3. They promote individual contributors however there is very minimal accountability. 4. Many people have been working for like more than a decade and it's difficult to convince them to upgrade.\ 5. Their agile process is really bad and they are not utilizing JIRA to its full extent which seems like wastage of resources. 6. Some basic terminologies are not used, many people are okay with incorrect process and tool usage. 7. Not a great place for the long run if you want to learn some process.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
