Pros
THIMC, You must know what you are signing up for before joining.
Let me vent now.
1. I wont be judged if I ask a stupid (not silly) question to a senior! . The Top leadership in the extended company is Amazing, form the conversations I had with them there are No slackers. None, haven't met any. Everyone works their rear off.
2. Our team (US and IN) shares a great bonding. There is appropriate amount of work sharing and there is clear communication.
3. I get chance to work with some of the largest companies in the world form various domains. There will be intense days with hectic schedules but fruitful days will always follow.
4. I have flexible work hours, I literally come to office anytime I want to and leave after my work is completed, of course on the upper side but I take enough breaks to dissolve my pressure. Flexible work hours also include weekends :)
5. If you will like the work there wont be pressure, This is a HR products implementation consulting role, This role fundamentally involves deadlines, deliverables and responsibilities. Margin of error is very thin, and Errors are not acceptable at all as it may have a large impact directly to the client's employees.
6. 40/50 employees are Ultra productive. Every person is the “smartest person in the room” and Everyone is a leader. I strongly urge the management to revert back to previous recruitment strategy.
There's no competition but individually productive. (Most employees put in extra hours EOD to make sure tasks are done, not necessarily they log them. I have personally seen employees work on the weekend and not log time for it. )
In general the mood of the office is often bright and open. I added this as a PRO because at the end of the day the Employees are Happy even after giving in the effort.
7. My leader(Director, Client Relationship) never Denied a Leave or Short Time offs. I have never hesitated tell about virtually anything I wanted to. I Admire Her with the amount of effort She puts into getting the deliveries completed with utmost client satisfaction.
9. I was gifted a book , got promoted :) (Please change my title), got a raise twice :) and got good amount of incentives.
10. Work Life Balance - On an average day, I work for 12-13 hours including breaks summing to 3-4 hours.
11. P. has been very helpful and always supported me for all the Professional and personal requests.
12. Free Snacks!! I heard a rumor that organization shifting to complete Healthy snacks. It's FASTER to grab chips than make a toast!,
Free Travel!! at Nights and nominal payment for day travel. 3 employees cap for Sedans and 5 employee cap for SUV. Trust me this is a very big boon in terms of hygiene and comfort and I hope there will be no alterations to this policy.
Free Dinner!! Although I rarely have dinner in office because I'm most productive during dinner hours, but Most times dinner is up to the mark, the organization is making all efforts to improve the dinner situation.
Fun Friday!! Every Friday we either go out for Cricket/Badminton/Bowling and if it's a hectic day for most, we prefer to play something in office.
13. Sometimes the clients may be un happy even if the team gives their 100%. and the management completely understands this.
14. During busy season you will be assigned multiple clients. your day will be filled with meetings, you need to squeeze time in between meetings to complete the work.
15. Let me tell you that people here super good, The whole office runs like a family and almost the whole organization knows each other, We often have fun while work. Please note fun is pain sometimes!! I have made some of the greatest friends here.
All in All, I'm Enjoying working here because I like this work, If you do not like something and you are still doing it then you are doing it wrong. You must be professionally inclined to the job you are doing.
Cons
1. The general office eco system has been hit from the past year due to various reasons, I see that management is taking all steps to bring it back.
2. Coin has 2 sides, Sometimes you may be the only person in the whole organization to know the solution of a problem.
3. I have generally not felt any politics, But expect the politics to be same as any good company.
