Pros

General facilities and amenities. Some exposure to CRM and ERP if you are in the right place . General work life balance

Cons

This company potentially had an interesting product line up . But unfortunately due to the lack of vision and initiative evolution is always on the back seat . Product engineering management is not upto mark . Blame game and So called throwing the ball widely practised to no real means to end . Most of the measures are half hearted with absolutely no determined initiatives taken . Transitions seem endless and keep the employees unsecure .Measures are only reactive and not proactive . Local management is pathetic at best and only seems to be active in saving their bonuses and hikes at the expense of others careers . Recently more than 10% of staff were layed off due to this lack luster planning and vision . Scrum and agile seems to have been adopted without any idea on what really is the need of the hour . Scrum = stand up meetings & burn down charts and not proper implementation (also read as giving the management the stick to shift blame on staff if things go wrong) . Favouritism ,promotions and opportunities handed out to near and dear ( and those who buy their old cars ) .

Pros

Great environment, the culture is truely incresible

Cons

Slight last of confidence in the future. Recent re-orgs, very single threaded in critical support areas, and ambiguity around when functionalities/tech will be launch give a bit of concern.

Pros

The salary is good if you negotiate at entry into the company. They also have a good bonus structure when you hit the marks and get it. People in product and services are generally good people.

Cons

Raises are almost non-existent, if you get promoted, it is almost as if you didn't get a raise. Being in services is almost like living under a rock, you will not get visibility in any other area of the company. Extremely HIGH turnover in consultants and leadership. Not somewhere I would recommend somewhere who wants to learn and continuously grow in their career in the long term.
