Pros

Free Meals, Transport and Politics

Cons

- no employee survey - no career path - micro management - ancient tools. - a lot of meetings resulting in wastage of time. - worst hike - ijp is an eye wash - HR does only preaching, have forgotten to practice it. All the leaders are puppets of the US team. They care oly about their US team and have forgotten there is a team in Bangalore. The leaders travel almost every quarter. This shows that they don't know that there is something called VC. They travel all the way just to meet them, waste company money and give us peanuts.

Pros

lots of autonomy of work good co-workers

Cons

was hired saying that it is a rowing company and you will benefit as the company grows. Yet to see that happen. Either in terms of package or promotions. I can already see some people older employees who are in the same boat as mine, looking for job. salary ad benefit are average, not attractive enough to hold good people once market opens.

WORST COMPANY AND WORST MANAGEMENT!!!!

Senior software developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free cab. Free food (Just for namesake, they provide food but it is of such low quality )

Cons

- HR POLICY GETS CHANGED WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE. If at all the US team is reading this, please look into this matter. - No proper infrastructure. - No laptops. -No Work from home.(Except for managers, leads and pregnant women). - The IT department of the company has got company provided iphones !!!! (I wonder why do they even need that). They also get onsite opportunities. - There is no proper retention policy or efforts made to retain the employees who have resigned. - No growth at all. If at all you are in good terms with your managers then you grow else you are gone. - The managers based out of bangalore are of no use. They are meant only to approve timesheets, leaves.
