Pros

Supportive management, conservative strategies that have fostered significant growth in tough times. Positive reputation in the marketplace. Long tenure with most employees.

Cons

With our conservative nature we do not lead in some areas of technology. Because of the long tenure not a lot of higher level positions open up.

Pros

1. Free food 2. Free cab 3. On time salary 4. Work life balance

Cons

1. Indian managers especially with Digital delivery who claims vast experience in industry are useless and don't have any technical skills. 2. HR team doesn't know what people do at technology. Always provide fake information when you join company. 3. Age old technologies may be 90s. 4. Attrition to start because of less hike given.

Pros

If you are lucky to enter team working on latest technology and having good immediate manager, then it is good

Cons

HR doesn't tell any policy clearly. Asks to talk to manager all the time for answer. Useless!! HR and manager puts pressure to select bad candidates when we interview. Waste of time! Every day we are just taking interviews. No time for work! Services industry culture. Everything like Wipro.
