Pros

Food Office culture No Micromanagement

Cons

If you are going to join after October, you will not be eligible for current March Hike cycle. You have to wait for next march for the salary Increment and it will reflect on payroll from July salary. That means if you joined in Nov, you have to wait 20-21 months for next salary increment. - Also Salary hike is very less (same like TCS) : 7 -10%

Pros

Pay is competitive. Fully remote. WLB is OK.

Cons

The company is on a downward spiral ever since it was sold to Private Equity. Shifting priorities, no vision, chaotic management, etc. RSUs are going away, and the LTIs that replaced them are basically a scam. And on top of all that, layoffs twice a year.
