Pros

* Flexible timings * Good work-life balance * Accept new ideas and implement it on MBOs

Cons

* Poor salary. In no way competitive to other companies in same industry * Poor management skills. Never get things done by HR. They just keep stalling requests. * Poor facilities- including food, refreshments, campus, work place. * Cheapness- All facilities provided are cheap with lowest in its class. * Old management chain. No intention to grow or let others grow by most in management chain. * No talent based promotions. Promotions are based only on experience. You can imagine how many unskilled managers are there. * No incentives for new ideas. * Poor onsite opportunities. * No fair profit sharing. Share values are good but this will help only management chain as they are the ones who own most of the shares. Employees are kept puzzled with min salary level though company is making profit over profit and acquisitions even during recession.

Pros

There are a handful of people here who are fantastic to work with, are very knowledgeable, and care about the product that's going out the door.

Cons

Leadership is fundamentally out of touch and appears indifferent to employee well-being. The culture is marred by nepotism and a lack of accountability, where 'guiding values' are preached but never practiced. Feedback is discouraged, and those who speak up are often targeted. Expect a 'reward' of more work for the same pay, as promotions are rare and promised bonuses are frequently withheld despite strong site performance. A very frustrating and toxic environment for those who value merit and transparency.
