Pros
1. Very low Stress Level at work. 2. No one forces to work on weekends 3. No force for doing overtime 4. They serve tea/coffee at your desk twice a day. 5. HR team is good. They listen to your queries and even provide a solution. 6. Admin team is good and helpful. They take care of the issues promptly. 7. Management in any company varies from person to person.So I cannot generalize for the entire organization.
Cons
1. Age old products, so you basically do maintenance work rather than new development. And maintenance issues are too basic and repetitive. I lost interest because of that. 2. They have strict 8 hour policy . Lunch and Toilet breaks not included.So you end up spending more hours in office if you like to eat lunch slow or you have an upset stomach. 3. There were lay-offs recently .So you do not have job security. 4. They say they have senior technical guys but you have to understand that these are the guys who joined Yardi during early days. These people have only diplomas in computers which establishes their competency level. They have spent their life here maintaining the existing code base. So you do not learn anything new neither from project nor from your seniors. 5. There is no onsite opportunity. They send you for a month at maximum and with the bare minimum allowances.Since it is you first trip abroad and you like to explore, you end up paying from your own pocket. I know HR will argue that this is for business purpose but all employees know they do this so you get the satisfaction of going abroad .There is no real extra work/client interaction that you do there. You do what you do in India. So in short they give you a round trip ticket with some pocket money for daily food and that is it. Plus their offices in USA and UK are in very remote locations. So you have to travel a lot to tour the cities.
