Pros

Great place to master the art of watching avoidable problems become full-blown crises

Cons

Leadership is in disarray. Constant changes in upper management and no clear long-term vision. Morale is low across the board, and it's getting worse. Layoffs and budget cuts are frequent, but expectations keep rising. Career growth is more about who you know than what you do.

Pros

Work-life balance is okay if you keep your head down, don’t ask questions, and don’t create a ‘job threat’ to US employees.

Cons

* Very high racism and bias from US management towards Indian employee. decisions, visibility, and recognition are skewed. Indian engineers often get sidelined or under-credited, regardless of contribution. 1) Very limited access for engineers; a lot of “read-only” culture, so you can’t really get hands on. 2) Knowledge sharing is poor, no proper documentation, or structured onboarding. 3) Some teammates hoard information or showcase others’ work as their own, which kills collaboration. 4) Bureaucratic — multiple teams involved for simple requests, approvals take forever. Growth is slow. You may not get opportunities beyond the narrow scope assigned.

Pros

No work. You will end up doing things from the 90s era. Cut copy paste and hardly some basic file uploads.

Cons

It was really good 3 years back. Now its just a black hole. HR are trying their best to cut the corners. Hardly any hike and no bonuses. Smart people have already left the org. HR'S are not paying ex employees their leave balances and giving multiple excuses. The top leadership completely lacks vision. Hired 300 people in one year and then laid off 150 the next year. This is just becoming another lala company which will eventually wrap up or end up being taken over.
