Pros

The employees are torch bearers working in unison and spreading the positivity at the ground level. Various platforms to prove self and attain new skills. Good teams always encouraging to try and experiment - an important ingredient to survive and grow in technology sector.

Cons

Multiple re-organizations, restructuring the groups have only led to much confusion. Manager above, only cares if you create a problem and solve them. Does not appreciate someone who works hard for not messing up the deliveries. Under market compensations No focus on appreciating loyal employees Happy to hire laterals at high compensation but do not even bother to pay heed to suggestions from existing resources

Pros

None, run dont even consider them

Cons

"India-first mentality." The company says it wants to work with people across the Americas and Europe, but many decisions still seem to follow an Indian way of operating without properly considering local labor laws, regulations, and workplace expectations. There are serious concerns about job stability. The company frequently praises itself for creating employment opportunities, but at the same time, it appears to be bringing more employees from India into U.S. roles while letting go of people from the Americas and Europe who have contributed to the company. This creates uncertainty and raises questions about the company's commitment to its existing workforce. Every meeting seems to be focused on AI : AI this, AI that, AI everywhere. Employees are constantly asked to complete AI related training and adapt to AI initiatives, while at the same time letting people go so they can afford AI. Compensation is another area that needs improvement. After my contributions and time with the company, my last salary increase was only $20, which felt extremely discouraging and showed a lack of appreciation for employees' efforts.
