Pros

- Clear strategies for positive impact to powering lives and sustainability - Good policies on travel

Cons

- No focus or methods on ensuring quality delivery but just routine, mundane work - IT processes, methodology & tools running in mediaeval period. Some are adopted under pressure to keep up with current market to avoid difficult questions from vendors - lip service and eye wash on targets & values but no org. Or leadership actions or intent on adoption or ruthless drive to faster outcomes - people culture is overrated. Appraisal system on bell curve is just for the record but 80% in d center and rest 20% just above it. Seldom anyone is rated Lower. Mediocrity is standard. PIP is more headache and job risk for supervisors than reportee - no respect for talent and value drive but exceptional efforts on retention of non-performance in the name of engage & inspire. Haven for incompetent resources - extreme demotivation for people who are aspirational & talented as growth stops after a while as executive positions are kept for outside India - HR staff themselves misbehave and don't treat staff with respect and showcase insanity despite they being the face up for any org.
