Pros

Some engineers are knowledgeable and willing to share their knowledge.

Cons

1. Compensation is too less. In last 3 years salary revision happened only once. And that to it was not good. For some, salary is less than service companies in Pune. 2. Most of the people, especially management people, are the ones who wants to stay in Pune because of their personal goals. Due to this their driving factor is less. They just come to work for the sake of it. 3. Too much of politics, even sub-team members works with each other as if they are are working with service provider. Too much of blame game. 4. No consistent evaluation plan, no growth plan for employees. In fact, managers (barring few good ones) managers does not discuss the growth plan with an employee even during half yearly performance evaluation. 5. Many colleagues have negative views about company work and performance. This negativity keeps your moral down. You need to fight a lot with yourself to get self motivation. 6. Frequent layoffs.

Pros

Great technology for the era of AI. Stock is doing well.

Cons

High performers have been laid off based on market/biz unit goals. Outsourcing/derisking is a thing lately.

Pros

Fast paced workplace. Lots of data to master SQL and data analysis

Cons

Toxic AF. Everybody seems to lower to 60% effort because the risk of getting tired is immense. If you give 100% and have to take a break and someone sees, the big boss will yell with a grumpy neurotic southern old man voice. Trust me, it is very unpleasant. If you are male, don't get hopes up for a promotion if there are any eligible girls. If it isn't done on purpose, then the general culture of cattiness and gossip will accomplish it anyway.
