Pros

Strong global brand name that adds credibility to your profile. Free Snacks

Cons

1. Too much time spent on alignment rather than building. 2 Office politics exists at multiple levels, which affects transparency and decision-making. 3. Work is driven more by showcasing progress than by building truly valuable or innovative products.

Pros

Decent to good pay Snacks and Lunch provided Regular celebration of events and festivals

Cons

Many to list, where to start? High politics insecurities internally High customer churn because of direct result of unhappy employees on floor along with other business issues. High attrition rate too Very vague direction about the vision, especially in AI. The products which they are making in AI, is more of gimik than actually solving customer problems. Micromanagement at its peak. They will force to come you to the office, and then also see what you are doing in office. Zero trust on employees and hence micromanagement. In ai They celebrate the number of tokens you consume and there is a leader board for it. Not sure why they are not able to understand that high token usage means increasing cost by this internal competition but not the output productivity. No promotions nor increments have been given to lower most employees who are actually the implementors. They promoted all the higher leadership but to junior employees they say they have financial issues.
