Never join Documentum Bengaluru team if you are not a Tamilian / Telugite /Malayali

Pros

Absolutely no pros if you are not a Tamilian / Telugite /Malayali

Cons

Starting from the Top Managemnet in Bangalore, the pecking order is held by Tamilians/Teluguites/Malayalis. Promotion for Tamilian / Teluguite/Malayalis happens at such a faster pace that it keeps happening every 2 years . It's not the same for others and goes for more than 5 years. Others have to slog here, while just attendance is sufficient for Tamilian / Telugite /Malayalis. Some teams only have Tamilian / Telugite /Malayalis.

Pros

- People are generally pretty helpful - Technology stack is recent - Good recognition of cloud importance - Compensation and benefits are probably around industry standard

Cons

- Some typical large company red tape to get things done or be disruptive. Necessary in today's markets - Too many 'management' levels are a big part of the problem above - Product management is on the 'weaker' side - Competing products internally - Most of the security products (and vision) acquired through Micro Focus are 'dated' with declining demand - Vacation time for new hires regardless of experience is non-negotiable - No equity
