Pros

Good products. Decent management at CXO level.

Cons

Indian management does not care about employees. Terrible managers, very poor growth opportunities and rampant office politics. Prevalent favoritism. Absolutely no training given for any role. If you are considering joining this company, please do not. You will regret it for sure. I have spent time in applications engineering, field sales and inside sales teams. Each is bad in its own way. Corrupt organisation too. Dupes both employees and customers. Cares only about revenue. Zero consideration for employees and ethics. Managers with absolutely no management skills abuse employees and have only personal agendas in mind. This is all evidenced by the high attrition rate. My sincere advice for anyone planning to join the indian subsidiary for any role is : DON'T. You will surely regret it and the company will spoil your career.

Pros

I originally joined as an intern and had a great time, however I also rejoined for a year after graduating: - Quite a close knit, generally insular culture. - Puts a lot of emphasis on its benefits, which are pretty good. - The people you work with are genuinely enthusiastic and make it a good place to work. - The managers are generally quite good, and my personal manager was fantastic, especially when I was leaving the company.

Cons

- Has been on the slide in terms of company morale for a number of years. It uses its amazing culture as its selling point, however that culture has disappeared in the last several years, especially with changes in senior management. - Awful career progression, because of the massive amount of lifers in the company, to move up you have to wait for someone to leave or get promoted. It's a corporate pyramid scheme at its worst. - For an engineer the job can become very monotonous as its not particular dynamic and for graduates in the UK, essentially makes you work in a call centre environment helping customers, without any real engineering work. If you want to coast in a job for many years, then its a great place to work as you'll get paid and the company never makes people redundant, and you would have to try quite hard to get sacked. - Lack of dynamics as above. It used to be a trendy little tech company but its turning into a normal, boring, very average tech company with its own business model. It's area of industry(test & measurement) is pretty low growth and thus if you are looking for a place to build a fast paced and intelligent career, then look elsewhere. - CEO is ancient and fortunately leaving the job. However his replacement is likely to push on with cost cutting across the business which is making employees increasingly happy and destroying the once cherished culture.

Pros

Positive work atmosphere, terrific benefits

Cons

Pay is not as competitive as other companies with similar positions. Management knows this but instead of fixing the issue, they focus a majority of their resources on R&D and try to supplement the other departments with empty promises.
