Pros

The only Pros is " Work Life balance" that's it. People stayed in the company because it provided work life balance even though the pay was not up to the market.

Cons

1. No vision with the managers either at Bangalore and especially in Noida. 2. Absolutely no promotion based on performance. In Noida it is even worse. 3.There are people who are still at the level of Software Engineers at 7 years of experience or even more. 4.No growth plan for an employee. 5.Management does not walk the talk. All high talks and zero delivery. 6. A great career destroyer. If you want to retire at the same level at which you join the company , u r most welcome. 7. If you joined as an SE or an SSE in Testing or even in Dev, you will not have any vision even after 7-8 years of service regarding why you are not being promoted. 8.If you join as a Technical Lead and are not ambitious then stay for long. 9.If you are ambitious and want career growth, then PLEASE STAY AWAY from this company. You will ruin your career prospects. 10. Highly useless, absolutely non technical people at the lead level , PL level and Project management level barring few who are good.

Pros

- Benefits are great, medical coverages are great and there are a few plans to choose from that makes sense for you. Prescription coverage has changed a bit over the years and declined a bit but still within reasonable expectations. The additional perks and benefit services are great, lots of savings and reimbursement options. - teams are great and collaboration is necessary, but easy when you work with great people

Cons

- stability is a large concern for most of the population, as with any transformation and AI focused company there is a gap in the value of people vs. the value of time and money. It never used to be this way.
