Pros

1. Good Work-life balance 2. Flexible times 3. Food benefits if you go to office regularly That's all

Cons

1. Flexible times - in the name of releases they suck your mental piece. 24x7 people do the releases they don't even you rest properly in the midnight. Some time they will let you sleep at 2am and ask you to attend release war room at 5am. 2. They will put 45 days window after you separate from the company and will not release your pending salary even after 40days of separation. 3. They don't have proper HR management. 4. They don't have proper post separation process or people to finish the process quicker. 5. They don't proper skill upgrade plans for employees.

Pros

- Mostly good salary/benefits - Nice office - Some decent coworkers

Cons

If you have to do mass layoffs of hundreds of employees every 18 months, leaders need to look in the mirror to find the true problem with the business. Because it's not the competent people that actually get things done that are being laid off with no warning and limited severance. Don't expect any job security here. Also: - Still behind on certain benefits (extremely limited 401k match and bad expense policies not in line with US standards) - Work life balance is hard with large teams in both India and the US - Some employees who have been here 10+ years are completely unresponsive and largely incompetent but still get raises, promotions, and aren't ever scrutinized by leadership. The politics game runs deep here.
