      Pros

      Joined when the company had just started in Bengaluru. The team was fresh and open to new ideas then.

      Cons

      Their only purpose now is to enrich the lives of the mgmt and senior mgmt and employees don't even figure in it. Inspite of my results and contribution, I worked without hikes and 5 to 8% instead of 15% as promised bonus every year as I was being reassured by the senior mgmt that they would correct it next year! They don't pay well to begin with and don't do any kind of market correct also. The HR team and couple of other engineering teams do open nepotism, hiring without proper scrutiny their own relatives and friends. Some teams try to get in their friends through a friendly manager for their teams and claim referral bonuses. If you are close to the engineering directors then you can do pretty much whatever you want: - HR person becoming Program Manager without proper skills and scrutiny, not doing much but still growing - getting your friends into the company, getting your fresher relatives in easily etc. - site leader choosing only one community charities for company social causes The products are good, the processes are good but India office has really bad HR team and some leaders and employees due to which it becomes suffocating

      Pros

      Amazing office space in Charlotte with a strong emphasis on work-life balance. There are plenty of social events and networking opportunities that help employees stay engaged and build relationships across different business units. The recent IT reorganization has created a unique opportunity to participate in system and process design initiatives. While this level of change and transformation may not appeal to everyone, it offers valuable experience for those who enjoy shaping new processes and driving organizational improvements. I am optimistic about the direction of the organization and confident in the vision and leadership of the new IT management team.

      Cons

      Career advancement opportunities can sometimes feel limited within a satellite office environment, and promotion paths are not always clearly defined. Employees seeking long-term growth may benefit from having proactive career development conversations with leadership. The recent IT reorganization has introduced a period of transition, resulting in some uncertainty and lower morale across parts of the organization. The department is currently in a rebuilding phase, and new employees should expect to contribute to the implementation of new processes, systems, and ways of working. Compensation appears to be somewhat below market rates for certain roles, which may be a consideration for candidates prioritizing salary growth.
