Pros

An Exceptional Workplace with No Pros to Mention"

Cons

Cons: Commitment to Promises: There is a significant gap between what is promised during onboarding or discussions and the actual working conditions, which leads to disappointment for employees who value transparency. Unprofessional Behavior: Certain projects, like Tata Elxsi, expose employees to unprofessional behavior, negatively impacting morale and the work environment. Lack of Appreciation: Hardworking and dedicated employees are not valued, which demotivates those striving to contribute positively. Unrealistic Expectations: Employees are often expected to work 6-7 days, even when the advertised model is a hybrid or 5-day workweek, causing burnout. Inadequate Benefits: Employee benefits are not competitive and do little to support or reward the workforce. Hostile Work Environment: Some employees exhibit unprofessional behavior, such as yelling without reason, creating a toxic workplace atmosphere. Unrealistic Project Deadlines: Projects pending for years are suddenly expected to be delivered in a matter of months, creating immense pressure on newly hired employees. Cost-cutting Practices: After pressuring employees to meet impossible deadlines, they are often dismissed under the pretext of being "too costly," only to be replaced by multiple resources. Codebase Issues: The existing codebase is poorly managed due to frequent turnover of temporary developers, resulting in inefficiencies and complications for current team members.

Cons

Bottlenecks: Despite the great ideas, getting things across the finish line takes much longer than it should due to complex approval layers.
