Pros

Good payers, good culture and comprehensive trainings.

Cons

Careless attitude of Senior Management towards the grassroot employees They lay off people without even notice or enquiring about the person, just by word of mouth from seniors. Total politics, performance of a person is not at all considered. No work life balance. I see this organisation not long lasting Layoffs is a common thing here

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!
