Pros

Pro's which HR going to tell you during your Hiring process 1)Good Hardware/Software Infrastructure is provided for the employees.(I will agree on this.) 2)WFH(Not gone make any difference whether you are working from home or space as you are going to work 12-15hrs). 3)Medical Insurance( Company will provide 10 lakhs Insurance for you and your family but there is no option to Top-up are increase the limit so not as good as they tell you, considering the current Hospitalizations expenses.)

Cons

Phase1: a)First 15-20 days you feel like wow what a great on boarding process. Phase 2: a)Once you are into the project the pressure you feel from day 1 believe me you are going to remember me for not listening to me :) b)You will be assigned lot of work and your Co-workers will try to help you but they will be assigned with lot more work than you so you wont be getting much of help. c) The way project was handled by Project managers and Scrum masters is worst that I have seen in my 10 years of IT experience. Scrum masters here are slaves/dummies under project managers and commit to whatever they say and put it on team rather than protecting the team.

Pros

Friendly environment, with challenging scenarios that push you to grow, very international where you end up meeting lots of people. The vibe there is very team driven.

Cons

Not much a con but the product is so big and complex that takes a while for you to understand the whole, but the company is aware and let you learn the things without pressure.

Pros

Nothing i could think of!!

Cons

1. Very high expectations - Should be job ready from the day one itself will not be given enough time to underestand the project. 2.Startup Culture - Backbase at its core works like a start-up might have worked in other countries, but in india it wont work 3. Management- There are no clear policies in india BDC. Poor management, no clear delivarbles. No planning and execution. 4. Documentation - There is no proper documentation also every discussion happens over slack instead of mails. what ever the discussion happens it would be lost. 5. Work life Balance - There will be no work life balance at all in this company. they keep marketing that they have great WLB but in reality employees put in lot of effort to finish the work and those efforts will go unnoticed. Very high pressure and stressfull environment Better dont join this company and waste your precious career. Lot of people joined and left the company with in few months like me. There are many better product based companies out there with much better WLB, Less pressuer, Good work environment but Backbase isnt that kind of company.
