Pros

Pay and benefits were pretty good, that's about it.

Cons

Not the job I thought it was going to be. I originally applied for a Software Engineer role with Wipro, but after the first month into it I was working an IT position. Training was nonexistent, I trained myself and had to learn on the job, which would have been fine if management didn't treat every issue as a high/urgent priority. The hours were terrible, basically I needed to be available anytime day or night. Which meant I had to pay for hotspot and bring my laptop with me in order to go out and enjoy my weekend or weeknights. Even taking PTO was a pain because I had to ensure people could cover for me or it was denied, this was after I told management about planned vacation months in advanced. My team relied on me the entire time working there, and management didn't even give appreciation for all the hard work and long hours. Anytime I had questions, managers would refuse to help and not answer emails, or get angry that I didn't know the answer to my own question. My team would end up asking me questions that I didn't know because they refused to talk to managers because fear of getting reprimanded. The mandatory (and non position relevant) online training was very time consuming and every year you needed to have a certain amount of hours and tests completed, like I was back at school. I never had the time to do the training because I was constantly working.

Pros

There are no pros to working for Wipro.

Cons

This company is a sh** show. There are too many managers and less and less people to do the actual work. They have people that negotiate contracts and then expect the company to make money. In reality, most of the time the contract is basically giving the house away. It is the employees that suffer. When the contracts go south, they cut more people. Those people are then screwed over. Be warned!! If your position ends on the 25th of the month, your health insurance also ends on the 25th of the month. Note that the premium you paid, is not pro-rated, justifying the end of coverage on the 25th. You still pay the usual premium, which should then have your coverage run through the end of the month. If they can destroy a person, they will. They want more and more and more from their employees. While they preach all this mental health, work life balance, it's a sham. They have no regard for the well being of the employee, which carries over to the employee's family.
