Pros

Facilities. Thats it, they will provide you some good facilities to work there. Cab,good assets, Gym vouchers, Food, good pay. Some Team members helping you a lot.

Cons

If you ok to just go to any organization that provide you good facility you can join there. But other then that nothing else I can promise you. What i feel in very short spell that its totally depends upon team you join. Pls pls check before joining in which team you going to work. They will not disclose before you join bt pls ask before joining otherwise it will be hell for you. I think most of the teams are good dont ever think to join the backend team(API) or there core payment team. Equally nightmare for Tester and developers. Manager is checking small small things. If you join for 15-20 mins late they will tell like "make sure you join on time otherwise your performance bonus will be effected". Long and repetitive KT and Reverse KT session.(Trust me this is another headache). Politics is on peak.(MANAGER,DIRECTOR,SENIOR everyone involved here) I saw people left the company with in a year and returning lakhs of bonus amount(if you left before year you have to return around 20% of total CTC). Pressure is too much (specific for API backend and core payment team). going to 5 days work from office. Avg office infra. I left in weeks so you can imagine the real life there.

Pros

Work from home, great benefits, flexible PTO, competitive pay, bonus structure, 401k match.

Cons

A more Horizontal corporate structure than most other companies can leave you working more independently than most other companies. It's a global company so some of your partners may be on the other side of the planet. It's a very asynchronous company and some employees may struggle to adjust to the freedom and accountability.

Pros

The product managers were very helpful. They are the reason why Bold gets one star. Also, if you've been there for 4 years or more, you seem to like it.

Cons

I've never been so stressed in the first 30 days of a job. The senior manager gossiped about me and didn't have the knowledge to execute or to properly define expectations. I couldn't get feedback or clear expectations from the VP on down. It was like I was supposed to read minds. My advice is to run away.
