Pros

Great chances to learn new technologies. It is NEVER boring, you never think 'what do i do next?' Innovation is encouraged here.

Cons

You have to been from the right state of India to get ahead. There is a push for work life balance but really they want you to be available all the time No one can ever start a meeting on time.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
