Pros

Flexible WFH policy and need to complete only 6 hours in office

Cons

My experience with this company was very disappointing. The main concerns are: 1. High internal politics: The work environment has a lot of politics, which affects decision-making, team morale, and overall productivity. 2. Poor technical leadership: Some managers are highly non-technical but still push teams to follow unrealistic approaches. When things fail, the blame is often shifted to the team instead of leadership taking responsibility. 3. Excessive and unproductive standups: Daily standups can go on for more than two hours, which is extremely unproductive and takes away valuable development time. 4. Lack of strong projects: The company does not seem to have many strong independent projects and appears to be heavily dependent on Microsoft-related work. 5. Misleading AI positioning: Although the company presents itself as an AI-focused or AI-expert company, in reality it does not seem to have enough skilled resources, planning, or technical depth in AI. 6. Toxic communication from managers: Some managers speak in a harsh and toxic way, which creates unnecessary pressure and a negative work environment. 7. Good employees struggle in this environment: Sincere and capable employees can do good work when they receive clear direction, respect, and realistic goals. Unfortunately, this company’s culture and management style make it difficult for people to perform at their best.

Pros

Work involves modern tech stack.

Cons

Don't expect career hike or appraisal for a long number of years from joining. Best option is to hardball and negotiate for highest amount before joining. Another downside is that most employees are forced to take a pay cut or voluntarily downgrade their designation after joining, due to market financial implications and organization health.
