Pros

The flexible WFH opportunity and a good leave system. The work-life balance is as good as one can imagine it to be.

Cons

1) Very low compensation as compared to competitiors 2) Doesn't matter how good your performance is or how great and asset you are to the company - zero retention policy 3) The company once known for a fair and inclusive appraisal and promotion cycle has now the appraisal cycle mostly running on personal bias of the managers. I have seen so many talented people move to another company for the same . They have been training new recruits with all sincerity and will be sitting at the same designation and the new recruits soon jump up to their level or higher in no time if they have a way with their words with managers. 4) The promotions are simple - doesn't matter how your professional conduct or maturity is, just get good numbers as objectives and be your manager's favourite

Pros

Benefits are good, workloads are manageable, people are (mostly) nice and easy to work with.

Cons

Pay, Progression, Veneer of Shiny Happy People, but below the surface everyone is displeased. I have never worked somewhere that I can simultaneously feel utterly dispensable, but also totally indispensable. There are yearly rounds of redundancy that affect people of all levels, job descriptions and responsibilities change without consultation - due to "business need". But don't you dare take a week or two holiday, because work that you've handed over and trusted would get done (as there are time sensitivities) will just be waiting for you when you get back - at the same exact state of play. There is a serious lack of onboarding and what passes for a handover is utterly laughable. In a meeting recently we were showcased how a select few have moved around within Marketing to progress. Because that's the only way you can progress - happenstance and staying with the company long enough that you get bored and try your hand at something new. You don't get the opportunity to hone anything or become an expert at anything, because you're constantly bogged down with meetings and emails. There are way too many cooks in the kitchen on every single thing, with no one feeling like they can or should action things. So nothing actually gets done. We're dragging and forcing things over the finish line sometimes. Most of all - I'm just utterly bored most of the time. The job isn't challenging and doesn't require any thought. I am actively seeking to leave as there's no room for progression (even when seeking lateral internal moves) as there's an obvious hiring slow-down. The company must be performing worse than they want us to believe.
